Looks great!!

Update from my Ford dealer this morning is that my status is now showing as "Compound OUT", which he takes as its on a ship heading from Newark to Holland.

Not sure how long those sailings usually take and or how long after arriving in Holland it then makes its way to the UK but at long last it seems to be getting that little bit nearer!!

Great news!

So it will be over a year from ordering to collecting?!

You're probably looking at around six weeks, sometimes slightly longer... the sailing across the Atlantic doesn't take that long, but they have to ship it to Port where it inevitably sits for a while, load it on a boat, sail it to Zeebrugge, then it seems everything at the minute is also going via Bremerhaven, then to Southampton, then it gets moved about, eventually arriving at your dealer for PDI and drilling a couple of holes in your front bumper

thanks - unfortunately that's what i was guessing at as well. I was hoping for an early September but the reality is that its looking like early Oct

I wanted to order a purple Mach 1 with the y spoke wheels, but called up the afternoon of the day the closed the books. The dealer had a green one arriving in November so I put my name down for that.

Arrives the same month as my other green car so will be a green garage overload.

Yours does look good, I bet it looks even better in the flesh in the sunshine! As for mine, I know they (Ford) made a mistake as my order seemed to have slipped through the cracks and it was only me constantly chasing earlier this year that seems to have gotten it moving. However my price is still thankfully fixed at last summer’s agreed figure. Using the online configurator I’m c£9k better off against list. So part of me is saying cash out and part of me is saying you’ve waited over a year you might as well enjoy it!!

My sales lady bent over backwards to get my car, as for the configurator option list some of the options are not UK spec hence my seats being the climate one,s instead of £2000 Recaro,s, nice feeling when you drive away at the order price ? some of the shipped cars come from Holland into Dagenham Essex

Seems as though my year and a bit wait is almost at an end. My dealer messaged to say that the car has arrived at Liverpool docks, so i'm assuming that it wont be long before it makes its way to them for inspection etc

Funnily enough got a call from Dealer to say that they now had the car. Going to pop along over weekend to have a quick look with collection hopefully next Thursday or Friday

Great news, looking forward to seeing some pictures!

My own GT (ordered March) which was scheduled for early 2023 delivery actually arrived at the dealers 3 weeks ago! Annoyingly the same day that our house buyers pulled out, potentially scuppering our move- which was a prerequisite to the new car arriving... So I've had to resist going to look at it in case everything fell through. Fingers crossed we are now back on track and I'm hopeful that we are now in a position where I can collect the car early next month- just in time for my birthday and a couple of small trips away with the wife.

The new Mustang announcement yesterday has done nothing for my excitement!
