Detailed Order Process (UK-S550)

[Goosey]

yes I keep checking

Please check back later.
The window sticker has not yet been
released for this vehicle.

VIN was released 12/10 with a build date of 7/11 but I supposed this date is a guesstimate.

Yer right it won't be long ...

Don't worry the moment it's built you will simply move to the next stage of checking and waiting that is ETIS updating and then somehow it turns up at Baltimore .......but that's more emails to the Ford team to check I think.

My ETIS was updated a couple of days after COTUS. Now I'm waiting for it to show up on the WWL site. BTW, do they use any other shippers? Or is it just WWL?

[MENTION=23824]Nookie[/MENTION] Are there many Mustangs in Jersey? Been there many times only ever seen a blue S197 which I spotted near the Nigel Mansell museum

As it's a small island and I've been a bit obsessed by all this Mustang stuff since I first saw one... there's 6 x S550's here (so far), all GT's, including mine which arrived at the dealers on Monday (1 x race red FB ex-demo, 1 x magnetic vert, 1 x black vert, 1 x oxford white FB current demo, 2 x magnetic FB).

There's quite a few S197's (about 10-15 I'd say) including several Shelby/Cobra GT500's and California's, a couple of SN-95's and maybe 3-4 3rd gen's (most of which have been heavily modded and generally appear at the sprint races over here), and probably 15-20 1st gen's (coupe/FB/vert) mostly '60's models and mostly in top original condition (in private collections). I've never seen any 1st or 2nd gen's from the '70's over here at all (Mach1's, Boss's etc.) but they may exist.

There's more vehicles on this island than there are people (I think the recent figure was cars outnumber the population by about 20,000) and there's shit loads cars in private collections/garages all over the place that never see the light of day... so there's probably a few more that aren't known about.

I've always loved Americana comes from my US family roots back in the war torn 40's I've always noticed Mustangs but never wanted a LHD. Awesome place and plenty of money in Jersey and so many expensive cars but not much space to get your foot down. The road up to Jersey Pearl seems the best run. Where do the sprint races take place?

Yes... it's along the Five Mile Road (which is about 3 miles long :doh: ) that they have the sprints about 4 times a year, and we have a motoring festival over one weekend in July which on the Sunday has an 'active arena' which involves everything from motocross to classic to rally to modified cars being ragged around a small circuit round one of the parks.

Not a huge amount of space to put the throttle down as no motorways here and by the time you pick up any speed you've either reached the next set of traffic lights, or you're in the sea.. yet still the place is full of Porsches (they're as common as Fiesta's here), Audi R8's and RS's, AMG's, Lambo's and shit loads of Ferraris, and the Mustang is actually a pretty rare care in the whole scope of things! Only 1 hour to France on the boat though, so easy to get away for a weekend.

I fully intend to do do a few European and UK meets next year as soon as the spring/summer starts, so looking forward to seeing what's upcoming on that front and getting the chance to give the car a good blast.

Tell me, is it sad to check WWL schedules from Baltimore to Zeebrugge and try to work out which one you may be on ...

Not at all, mine was built only a day or 2 from yours (Cant tell exactly as Cotus and Etis are not aligned perfectly). so i'm hopeful mine should end up on the same boat as yours. I spoke with the dealer yesterday and all he could say was an ETA of 'January'. So more waiting and daily checking. Have also used the checking facility of WWL shipping line and my VIN number has not appreared there yet, so i guess it's not reached the Docks at Baltimore, still in transit.

 

[downthepub]

Interesting, cheers for sharing the shipping schedules. Fingers crossed I'm on the 20th. Nuffin on WWL yet.

ETIS has finished updating now (I have the interior colour and material added etc) but you can be at the docks waiting without appearing on the WWL system. I think...............dangerous i know, that the VIN only appears when allocated a ship but the car could be there waiting. I imagine if on the 20th NOv you will appear a week before but I am guessing I will be on the one after that.

Yes you can, you get put on the WWL system a few weeks before you actually are on a boat, talk to Karen and Stacey they can tell you EXACTLY where it is.

 

[Jimmy Pancakes]

Stacey gave me an estimated build date of 02/12/2016! It all feels real now!

Our USA colleagues tell me it's been at the docks since the 27/10 it made it there a week after being built which was quick. I think the week closure meant when they started again there was no backlog. Who knows but it's getting closer !! They also confirm your post that as of now they can't tell me more and it's down to WWL and the Karen Stacey combo !
