So who has ordered the new S550 Mustang?

The excitement moves up to 6th!

Cue all the UK sightings and the delivery reviews, only been waiting all year for this.

I imagine some of those deliveries are Ford's cars and that we'll start seeing UK press drives soon too.

Starting to like those white lights now. Looking good on the red, I just hope that they look good on the Comp Orange.

Unusual in the UK to see a car without a rear wiper

[croyde]

Especially with the rear window so raked.

[Patch1875]

The red looks superb!

My V8 Vantage never had a rear wiper... Didn't seem to be a problem

[666mac]

My XFR-S has no rear wiper no drama
Recon the stang Would look hideous with one

Can't remember the last time I saw a coupe/non hatchback WITH a rear wiper.

...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?

You lucky buggars, mine's been put back....again. Was supposed to be built on 15/10 then 15/11, then got this email yesterday from the dealer:-

"I’m afraid I’m not e-mailing with good news and as expected the expected delivery date of your car has gone back to 6th February and as far as I can tell it hasn’t been built yet. Ford haven’t released any specific information as to why there has been such a delay except that they have had more orders for the 5.0 V8 than expected."

Fair play for proactively updating me with bad news, I know you boys have been moaning about the dealers but mine is actually pretty good. Shame Ford US aren't delivering their end of the bargain.

Very jealous seeing those cars lining up at the port.

Well mines arrived.....

Haven't driven it yet...need to get tax and insurance sorted....

What's the excessive V8 orders got to do with anything since yours was ordered months ago?

Have you emailed Andy?

Nice1 Where did you order from?

Kings Lynn model shop.......was £206.99 delivered....

They didn't have it in stock, I ordered on the 11th and it came today

Haven't tried it yet as charging the batteries, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the detail and quality.... I thought maybe it would be all plastic but it's not... The main chassis is aluminium, and it has a bit of weight to it...

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

First photos are already on facebook , showing them on the dock

No pictures I'm afraid, but I drove up north this morning (Hampshire to Liverpool), and saw two car transporters on the way carrying new Fords - both with Mustangs on First was a Ruby Red with the nickel wheels on the A34, second a Race Red one on the M40. So they're on their way to dealers

Having said that, still a distinct lack of updates on where mine is though. Ford/Karen stated weeks ago it was built, dealer claimed it definitely wasn't...

The 2015. They had stock, so just got a text to say delivery tomorrow.

Shame the same can't be said about my 'actual' S550!
