Very nice Jon!

My old man went from 17MY Grabber Blue (6sp Auto) to 18MY Lightning Blue (10sp Auto), be interesting to see what you think of the differences (I personally think the 18-19MY is much improved, the changes are more than skin deep).

It will be interesting Ollie... How are you btw?

Mine are both manual, so the gearbox remains the same. Will be interesting to see the difference taking that out of the equation...

Weather is looking good, so fingers crossed.

Paperwork is all done now, got the reg number, insurance done, remainder of deposit transferred. Insurance hire car gets collected Friday.

I'm going to be an absolute nightmare for the next two days waiting for collection. laughlaugh

Lovely spec car you’ve got arriving. Great colour, no idea why they dropped grabber blue though! Very jealous smile Make sure you chuck up a few pics when you get time!

My local Ford dealer. Cheapish fuel at Morrison just down the road. BP at the A6/A421 junction on your way out.

Cheers for that - I'd hope they put enough fuel in it to get me home laugh

If not I've bookmarked the Shell at Woburn Rd as a minor detour on the way back to the A421 - (I have a Shell fuel card).

I used to use Bedford Ford many years ago for the supply of fleet cars and they were very good, although that was 10 years ago .....

I keep looking at Convertibles in Red at the bottom of the market, i really fancy running one for a year just to tick the V8 and Mustang off the bucket list.

Just so you are aware there are some differences in the manual gearbox in the facelift model. They switched to aluminium shift forks which can be a bit fragile, just something to be aware of.

Looks great! Quite like the rear spoiler on the new model, suits it well.

I asked re dealer as I saw you are local, never seen a Mustang at Think Ford.

Cheers, yes I like the spoiler - the dealer missed that off the spec originally, so its a freebie too!

My last one came from Think Ford Guildford, Farnborough don't do them - their site really isn't big enough!

One more sleep to go! Have a busy day today at work, and a busy evening tonight, so it will go quickly.

I imagine that tomorrow morning at work will go really slowly though... Then at lunchtime I'm off to Bedford.

Six months to the day... And the old Mustang has re-appeared for sale at a garage in Welwyn Garden City...

That's one low mileage one owner car you wouldn't want. Looks straighter than the last time I saw RK68 OBH though.
