Are any physical cars available from dealers yet? I want to buy a V8 (cab probably) in the next couple of weeks. Is that possible? Thanks.

I came across this one today at Furrows Ford in Telford. (Was getting mine serviced)

It’s unsold but there are a couple of interested parties due to view at the weekend.

ThinkFord Guildford have physical MY18 cars for sale. Cab is unlikely though.

I thought I really wanted an 18 model in Orange Fury, but that looks a bit washed out to me, maybe it’s a poor photo......now I’m glad I went for the 17 model in Grabber.

OP - how does the front end look in person compared to the 15-17?

My dad swapped his Grabber Blue for an '18 Orange Fury (yet to be built). He saw one last week and sent these photos, looks quite different outside. Excuse the low-res photos.

Orange Fury obviously reacts to light in various ways. It’s a cool colour for sure. I pick up my new Grabber beast on Friday.

Mrs Eldar has decided we need a Mustang.

The dealer has an unregistered GT fastback, auto with the option pack in Magnetic grey. Delivery this week, 0% finance offers around 39k total. Ticks all her boxes, and mine too, apart from auto but I can live with that...

Seems a good deal, but I wonder if waiting for the MY18 version. They look about 8k more expensive, and 6 to 9 months delivery.

Decisions, decisions....

32995 to 47995 in 2 years, wow thats some major increases, combined with a less nice orange and messed about with looks

.... think one of the discounted M3 / M2's or a lightly used F Type V8R would be a comparable price, or grab a lightly used 2016 car for early 30's.

I would have thought £35k was achievable for a new MY17, and MY18s are available from stock but add another £10k. Me, I decided to wait for the Green Goddess.....sorry, Bullitt.

After careful consideration - actually orders - from SWMBO, who likes the colour and the auto a bit of negotiation was done and a grand was knocked off. And the MY18 looks uglier than the MY17 she says.... And bought.

Pick it up Mondaysmile

Hi,

Ford in Guildford have 5 GT in, went to look last Friday, in reality they look utterly awesome, no way can you tell in pics, They registered one on wed Im testing driving Monday pm. The active exhaust sounds awesome and no way can you tell on you tube etc

You tube vids are waste of time as for instance the Super snake is mega loud in reality but sound so different on vid

I think the orange doesn't look that amazing in reality but every one different. Prob ok in USA

New Front does deffo look so cool.

I ordered a 2017 in oct 16, but postponed in feb 2017 for 18 model.

My car is built and hope to get in a month or so.

You HAVE to see in reality as the 18 is hard to appreciate in pics
