Why Zeebrugge? Each and every "K-Line" vessel from Newark is going Newark - Barcelona - Bremerhaven.
That sounds logic but as far as I know, all Ponys are unloaded at Zeebrugge to go through the underbody sealing treatment. I think the only exception are those bound to Germany, carried to Bremerhaven. However, this is just an assumption after years reading this forum, I do not have any certainty about that. And of course, dealers, at least in Spain, have no clue.
Think you will find things have changed a bit in the last couple of years, as all U.K. ponies come direct to Liverpool now, which does away with Zeebrugge, which is a good thing as there undersealing is rubbish, also they now come over on ACL ships to the U.K. it also good to see Ford dealers are the same as in the U.K. totally useless
I will check when the Pony arrives. All Spanish registered cars (and every driver) must carry all times two documents to be shown to the Authorities on request: "Technical specification sheet" and "traffic permit". If the car is unloaded at Barcelona and enters into the EU market through the Spanish customs, this is shown in the very first document I have mentioned.Think you will find things have changed a bit in the last couple of years, as all U.K. ponies come direct to Liverpool now, which does away with Zeebrugge, which is a good thing as there undersealing is rubbish, also they now come over on ACL ships to the U.K. it also good to see Ford dealers are the same as in the U.K. totally useless
I read your statements today also at the Geerman forum... You are right, I drive right now a 2015, but awaiting for a new GT 2019 too...!
Oh you’re gonna love the 2019. I have a 2014 and traded a 2008 Saleen for the 2019. The 2019 is miles ahead of all of these, in terms of comfort and performance. Got the PP1 Oxford White showstopper red interior....loving every bit of it and you will enjoy yours too. It’s the only car I’ve owned and truly an automotive icon. Good luck on your new one!
I hear you. The wait is the killer part. I ordered mine last November and the dealer told me about 3-4 months. Delivery was supposed to be 03/10. My actual delivery was 5/26. It will be worth the wait. Went on some errands yesterday and with summer here for us, the cooled seat function is worth every penny. I see that you’re in Madrid.....I feel your pain on the waiting as overseas orders must be crazy time wise. Just curious, what are the specs on yours?
That’s gonna be a nice one. I only got the PP1 and the 401A package on mine. Wanted the manual but I have friends that got the 10R80 automatic and they love it. I’m one of those die hard old school gotta have a manual people. Never tried the manga ride but the stock suspension is pretty good, a lot better than my 2014.
