Did you also get it at the pre VED rise price?
My dealer knocked the tenner off saying that it was only fair and that Ford had told them to honour the original tax cost as well as the car prices.
Didn't ask - but good point. However they did say that price is fixed at time of order, so given that was quoted at OTR, I should be able to put a tenners worth of 98 RON in to get me home My dealer knocked the tenner off saying that it was only fair and that Ford had told them to honour the original tax cost as well as the car prices.

Do I need a reason to post a pic of my car...?
1,400 miles in and not a bad word to say about the experience.
Avg 16mpg, grip galore and pulls like a train.
Thanks for posting that photo, now I know I made the right Colour choice1,400 miles in and not a bad word to say about the experience.

Biggest pain is the wheels TBH, the brake dust does cover the fronts after a spirited drive, as the 6pot Brembos do tend to shed quite a lot of dust.
I wouldn't have it any other way though. They don't offer a BRG otherwise that would have been my choice.
The Guard (green/grey) didn't look that good in the flesh.
So tonight I went to the Mustang unveil event at Vospers in Exeter, complete with my VIP badge they sent me for being someone that's ordered one.
Fair play a good event, they laid on a hot dog stand, coffee bar, drinks and snacks, had a chap bring his Super snake gt500 in, a beautiful 1965 mustang as well and then the unveiling of the yellow mustang.
Limited to just taking pictures of the outside, the engine bay and the boot. No chance to sit inside, apparently the ford people are precious about it because it's not finished quality interior, not sure I believe that but hey ho.
Vospers bunch a generally good bunch that don't want to make commitments they can't keep, the Ford bunch...hmmm not the most inspiring but interesting to learn that 60% of buyers across the UK are choosing the v8, and race red by far the most popular colour.
Vospers exeter have taken 22 or 23 orders, including 2 today and they've also got 2 of the champions league slot winners as well.
A shame not to get to sit in it but all in all a good event.
Pretty lucky too as supposedly there's only ten of these events across the country, Cardiff and exeter the only ones in the West of the country.

That must be very exciting. Are you one of the champions league winners?
Supertile's post on page 39 suggests he is.Supertile - pleased for you but got to be honest, sooooooo jealous.
On the plus side Meerkat is suggesting 300 quid fully comp which is better than I expected although I wont be surprised to see that change once insurers get the car properly added to their databases. Feels like a bodge at the moment. Matches the sales process !
