Just had another email from Karen. Mine has landed at Zeebrugge late on Friday 13th. She states for customs clearance & underseal wax. Then there's a twice weekly boat to Southampton, but she doesn't know as yet when it will leave.
Anyone got an accurate time scale for Zeebrugge to dealer ?
I'm hoping for an early Xmas present !!!!

24 hours from Zeebrugge. I reckon circa 10 days from the dock. I've two Mustangs arriving is Southampton tomorrow and hopefully I'll get them by Friday.

Do you know which boat they were on from the US? Mine came in on Eurasian Highway. My dealer hasn't given me any further updates since the car got to Zeebrugge 2 weeks ago.

The Ivory Arrow, the Eurasian Highway's cars are still in Zeebrugge I think. The ship coming in to Southampton is the Auto Bay, currently passing Worthing. I've given my man on the dock my VIN's so fingers crossed!

Ahh excellent news for you then! That's just a matter of hours away from making Southampton port. Exciting to think this long awaited car is almost here. The Ivory Arrow arrived in Zeebruuge about 3 days before Eurasian Highway i believe so with that i'm going to say to myself my car will be leaving Zeebruuge in the next couple of day

Keep us posted!

I think the next ship leaves on Thursday and arrives Friday, I think it's the Autostar. I'll let you know when I find out.

Sent my mate Andy an email last night, got a reply from my other mate Karen at 0708 this morning confirming my car was indeed on the Delhi Highway & is currently at Zeebrugge!!

Fingers crossed for 2015 delivery still!

OK from mild indifference I am now "interested" in where the car is, what number do I need from the dealer to put in which site please ?

Do you know if your car is built/shipped?

Built 23 October - from a Jan order but they said all rag tops were after a long run of coupes

[PG1971]

My car was on the Delhi Highway according to Karen. Looking at those recent posts then, is 3 weeks about the time they spend at Zeebrugge then about another week to dealer ? If I work on 3-5 weeks then that's Xmas week delivery at worst.

Can anyone give accurate dates they arrived at Zeebrugge to when they were shipped to Portsmouth ?

Will be still in Flat Rock or on the docks in the US, you dealer will get the ship name.

Don't know what you mean re rag tops, my first car arriving is a convertible.

I reckon they spend circa 3-4 weeks at Zeebrugge. It's only 24 hours shipping to Southampton, then 10 days or so to the dealer.

The only way of tracking your car now is through your dealer/official channels.

As I mentioned, I had to email my mate Andy as my dealer couldn't/wouldn't confirm it got loaded onto the Delhi.

Managed to get my two on priority by my contact at the dock, fingers crossed for Friday delivery.

Who will be 1st to post a pic of them on UK soil
Where will the pic be ? The dock The M25
M1 M6 or a dealer forecourt who will post the 1st
One wearing UK number plates, keep them eyes pealed

[Craigwww]

Im from Uk but live and work here in Bahrain/Saudi. I'm already bored of seeing them on the roads lol

However by far the two nicest colours I've seen are the grey and the blue. The red doesn't work so well for some reason.. to my eyes anyway.

Anyway, everyone awaiting their delivery should be excited, they look and sound great!

As you say, on a recent trip to the USA I saw (literally) hundreds of them - mostly courtesy of the rental firms.

I agree that Magnetic (grey) and Deep Impact Blue are the best colours (I ordered the latter).

That said, I only saw a single blue Mustang on the road in all my time there. Lots in other colours.

Our overcast skies will play a part in how they look on UK soil. That's one reason I didn't go for Ruby Red (metallic). It looks fabulous in the sunshine, but a bit 'muddy' when it's overcast.

...and here they are



Looks like a mix of Coupes and Convertibles (scotching the rumour that the 'verts would come later). Maybe built by colour?

Custom pack looks good on the nearest red car. Others without - so seems like a mix of all specs?
