Has anyone placed an order in the last few weeks? Just wondering what the current waiting time is?

Going by my experience 15 months, by the lucky others 6 / 8 months.

Not built yet - Feb build from October, it stinks but the price is held and it will be here for Spring so not "that" bothered its more the principle than the actual car - how can it be so diabolical?

Have you not been offered at the very least, an explanation, if not some sort of goodwill gesture?

Explanation from Andy was they ran out of parts but they have loads of black rag tops in dealers unsold, my dealer cannot get any information - I have asked for a gesture and may still cancel out of sheer pissed offness as I am not so "in lust" I have to have it and have it now - a year ago it was a good replacement for my E500 convertible - I havent had a rag top for a year and havent really missed it.
Plus I am launching my new business imminently so poor timing.

Hang in there, mine's supposedly being built today after being told August originally. I think this car will be a keeper and something hopefully very different and worth the wait and I've given up looking for alternatives.

Happy Birthday new car! Hopefully.

I have window sticker and ETIS has updated with car details, was supposedly built 22jan! Getting excited again now.

Congratulations biggrin

The V8 is more than double the UK price over in Holland. Did you buy it next door in Germany?

Fair play to Ford for under promising (since the first over promise anyway!), car was supposed to be delivered to the dealer 16th Feb, it actually got delivered today and we're picking it up Thursday!!!!

First rag top of PH?

ETA and its roof down weather!

At the weekend, a colleague of mine put a deposit down on a CO V8 Manual, and has been quoted October for delivery.

A week or so back, sas out for a meal with him and a couple of others, talking cars as you do, and I mentioned my savings are about 3/4 there to a V8. Always wanted a Mustang. Yadda yadda. Inspired him - and he's picked the same colour!

You guys may want to hold off, Ford has released the 2017 colors and grabber blue is back. Maybe y'all get that color.

Put my deposit down on 28/1/15 collected the car today on 28/1/16, coincidence? Not sure, but very happy anyway.

Magnetic is definitely dull under poor light, but amazing under sunlight as others have said. Not as bold as some orange / red cars, but suits us (middle aged!) choice in cars.

Loving the rag top, but the exhaust is definately not throaty enough, it's far too quiet (shame they don't have an Aston fuse 22 to pull out). Have ordered the Ford Racing Sports Exhaust which they tried to be delivered today but we were collecting the car, go the irony!

Thanks for sharing the pictures above as that's the colour that we have gone for (getting on a bit)

I am interested in the upgraded exhaust so any feed back would be welcome
