Just had my order number - L1052

After my supplier called me the other day to say that delivery was being put forward to October/November, he has now said in an email that production will be quarter 1 2016??? Very confusing!!

L0031

Originally V8 Fastback manual in Competition Orange

but I added Sat Nav and reverse sensors at the last minute.

Deposit paid the day after they announced the prices, forms signed last week.

I'm off to Vospers in Exeter this Wednedsay to see they one in the flesh! Fair play they invited me by email, letter, phone and then also sent me a VIP badge and lanyard lol least it's something!

Also got a formal order form that I've signed and sent back will try and get an order number!

How are you guys getting this LXXXX number? Is this info sent from the Ford UK or from the dealer directly without any prompt or you have asked for it? I have not yet been given this number and wondering if I need to ring the dealer

I only got mine after a second visit to my dealer, and telling them (after my salesman mentioned the possibility of March 2016 delivery, having paid Jan 2015!) I would be pulling my order.

The "mustang guy" at my dealer group's FordStore called me a few hours after the visit with my number, saying he'd only just got that information.

My number came through unprompted.....it was sent from the sales chap at my Ford Store

Show-off.

Just had an email from the ford salesman telling me my car will be officially ordered Tuesday , as the new "ordering bank" opens, and that any amendments to my order should be made before then.
Personally, I've found the ford salesman to be most helpful and good to deal with, I have no complaints at all, and I'm prepared for the wait.
On a different note, I've seen clips online where people can change the colour of the lights and sills by doing something on the cars settings, will this feature be in the UK ones?
Finally, has anyone heard through the grapevine of any official uk supercharger options and exhaust options? I've heard the Borla Attak exhaust, sounds perfect. If this is a 'world car' , then I'd like the same options as in America, I want a supercharger fitted by ford.

Does anyone know what road tax is going to be on the V8?

Moray Callum drives a yellow GT in Scotland ....

M600 FMC - UK registered and taxed. Presumably a Ford Motor Company car ..

[Fidd]

M1 FMC has been cropping up for some time - would guess it is a real registration number but it does not appear to be currently UK registered or taxed for use ..

The Ford video was well done, for the first time I'm a bit excited - 5/6 months to go.

I was in Toronto for work last week. Didn't get chance to see a Ford dealer but saw 4 Mustangs - 3 on the taxi ride back to airport. The first was a blue 'vert, not bad, colour looked a bit dull. Second was yellow - really didn't like it, the yellow seems to make it look less aggressive. Then saw another blue,but finally...a black coupe.

The black was stunning, easily the most aggressive looking, amazing.

Really can't wait now!
