So who has ordered the new S550 Mustang?
Discussion
It appears that Andy Barret of Ford UK's commitment to deal with each enquiry personally was slightly disingenious. Anyway, having written to him the week before last, I have had a response from Karen. I am order #124 (placed 28/1) and have been told I have an October build slot (no exact date yet).
This appeared to be later than some people that had placed their oder after me so I questioned whether it is true that Fastbacks had priority over Convertibles. She claims not and sent the attached report of cars that have been Gate Released by the factory already and are on their way to Zebruggee. It shows a mix of FB & Conv cars, I assume they are the CL winners cars.
As an aside, she said Oct build cars will arrive in UK late Dec / early Jan.

My Dealership says still no movement regarding my car (UCL) although their Showroom/Launch Vehicle (which had the same build date as mine) has left the factory !!!!!!!!This appeared to be later than some people that had placed their oder after me so I questioned whether it is true that Fastbacks had priority over Convertibles.

Email just received from Karen Batt at Ford after emailing her this morning:
"Being a 2016 waiting list order it has been scheduled to be produced in January 2016. Sorry I can’t be more specific than that at this moment in time. I can assure you though your order is going through our system and will be built as soon as allocation is possible."
My order was received and logged by Ford on 15th April 2015.
Hope this helps anyone else that ordered at similar time.
So managing my own expectations I am preparing for an April 2016 delivery....
