Finally got my VIN ..in a std email from my dealer ..apparently supplied by Ford UK as a template for all dealers to use...to standardise communication (I guess Karen , Andy et al are fed up with being individually emailed ..).
I placed my order / deposit 21st Jan 2015 . Now on Etis / window sticker , looks like mine was built on 1/10 ...but i'm not convinced .....interesting that today I received the mail below stating 28/9
Thx to Centurion 07 for the info on the tracking websites ......it's all coming together ....
"VIN: CF3G5234253
Dear Matthew,
Thank you for placing your order for a Ford Mustang. I wanted to let you know that production of right-hand drive Mustangs has now started at our production facility in Flat Rock, Michigan, USA.
Your vehicle is one of the earliest builds and is scheduled for build on 28/09/2015.
The anticipated shipping time to our dealership is 12 weeks after vehicles have left Flat Rock.
Once your vehicle has cleared customs and is loaded onto a ship in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, we will be in touch again to share with you the name of the vessel. This will allow you to track its progress via www.vesselfinder.com. Once your vehicle has reached Zeebrugge, please allow 5-6 weeks for European customs clearance and onward delivery to the UK.
While it’s been a long wait, we hope this live tracking will provide more information in the final phase of waiting.
Yours sincerely,
"

Ordered 23rd March, I'll email again & see if I get any joy
I ordered same week as you. Got a Vista print yesterday (first genuine system confirmation I've had) but no details on VIN, production date etc yet. Reckon we're a couple of weeks away from that looking at how others are coming through.slowhand99 said:

After my previous dramas - just had confirmation from Karen that car will be built 11th November - so I'm a very happy chappie
Same build date I've been given for our order - starting to get real now. Off to SEMA in just over three weeks - there'll be lots of S550 stuff to look at there....666mac said:

He sent me a screenshot today confirming mine is on it's way to the docks so hopefully will make the next boat with the first customer cars.
So finally after much pestering of Andy, Karen and my dealer I've been sent a screen shot from the dealer from their system of my order.
There's tantalising information on there including a VIN number (11 characters long) however whenever I try to investigate further I'm given a message telling me it needs to be 17 characters long!
Contacted my dealer and he says;
"I have honestly no idea what you would need to add to it in order to get that link to work."
Any one any ideas, I'd very much appreciate the guidance.

1FA6P8 in front of the 11 digits you have.
It could be 1FATP8 or 1FA6P8.I'm assuming it's down to your order date. Do you know what the difference is?
Depends on what you've ordered, here's how the first set of digits are made up (copied from a mustang6g post).
1FA - Ford motor company
6 = Seat belts and front/side air bags (coupe)
T = Seat belts, front/knee air bags (vert)
P8A = Coupe
P8C = Coupe GT
P8E = Convertible
P8F = Convertible GT
P8T = Coupe EcoBoost
P8U = Convertible EcoBoost
