Gowrings of Reading
Discussion
Thanks for your reply Stig.
I ordered a GT in mid October through my Towns Ford dealer which sources from Gowrings, Reading. I emailed them direct on 30th October & had a reply from a 'Sanjay' the next day. He said to expect an update in January 2016. Delivery date on the order is by 31st October 2016.
I posted this because I have been reading about peoples trials over the system & what with cars been delivered all around the UK, it all seems rather quiet over in Reading. The Ford dealer that I ordered from are awaiting 2 x GT's from a January order (with no word) hence my question here. Glad to hear that they at least have had deliveries of a couple of demonstrators....... at least something worked it seems.
I will watch with interest, your progess & (hopefully soon) delivery.

Good advice on a visit, will do.
No paperwork at all! That's terrible. I was sent a form by Sanjay entitled 'intelligent finder, contract successful' on the 31st Oct. It has my Customer number, dealer code, order number (Gowrings number I guess) & details of the GT with options etc. Oh, and a 'contract number'. Apart from a £1k receipt, that's all I have.
Looking at your location, I'm guessing you're not far from me. Will have to PM you when I eventually get mine

If it's contracted - all is good. That was the sticking point for me, was on waiting list but order wasn't 'contracted' with Ford until late Aug as I mentioned.
What spec. have you gone for?
I'm waiting on a Deep Impact Blue V8 (manual) fastback with custom pack.
Oh well, that sounds good for me I guess?? Cheers for the info. makes me feel a bit better.What spec. have you gone for?

I have ordered a Ruby Red GT with heated/cooled seats, parking sensors & shaker. I wanted the black rims with the red so didn't go for the custom pack. I was switching between the DIB and RR for days before ordering..... I really want both!

Picked mine up from them a couple of weeks ago.
Stuart is now in charge of Mustang orders (until he decides to leave/gets sacked, as has happened to the other 4/5 people that have been "looking after" me!).
They have a white auto convertible as a demo as I went out as a passenger with another customer who's wife didn't want to go.
As has been said, lack of communication is not the sole preserve of Gowrings, it comes right from the top but obviously as a customer, your only point of contact is your dealer and they have nothing to keep you sweet with as Ford don't keep them updated.
Pleased to hear that you have yours though; all well I presume? I drove an Auto GT at the Oxford dealer the other week & loved it. I have a manual ordered & hoping to love that too (bearing in mind that the last 4 cars I've owned were/are auto Jags). Hoping to test a manual in the new year though.Stuart is now in charge of Mustang orders (until he decides to leave/gets sacked, as has happened to the other 4/5 people that have been "looking after" me!).

I genuinely am gutted for all in this position. I looked at these cars when they were first released but decided to wait until I could see/sit/drive one before I ordered (didn't happen though cause of the 12 months wait). At least I knew price & spec etc though & for that reason, it's a no-brainer that you should get yours first.
I actually don't want my car until Summer, to allow me time to sell my current car for decent money but timing & communication is everything to me. Hoping that it'll get better as time goes on.
I can be thankful however that I won't get mine anywhere near before you lot cause the guilt would be murder (sure I would suffer will a big smile on my face mind you)
