Lightning Blue 5.0L manual GT fastback.
Top stuff, mine has apparently been delivered to Sinclair Ford but I have resisted going there. Hopefully will get it next week.
I came across mine by complete accident. I was driving past the dealership when a car carrier pulled into the street and there was a lightning blue mustang on the back so I followed it to the dealer - and yes it was mine. But I can't win lotto.

Hi Vinno,

I was the same, didn't want to see it till I took delivery.

Only problem was Hamilton asked me to look at the paint defects - he was certain I would reject the car.

As I've posted in another thread I went and had a look and had this brainwave to ask my Ceramic Pro detailer to have a look at it and it all got sorted.

Hamilton will look after you.

He told me that story and how he is the guy he now uses on any paint defects. He's a smart salesman the old Hammo he latches on to any good idea.

What an amazing coincidence!

Hi Tango,

How many days do you have left on cotus, mine says 26 days and still in "In Order processing" status and i am hoping it will go into "In Production" in the next few days.
26 days

Just doing some lazy Saturday research to see the wait times currently and it looks like they've never been faster! Cars are being entered into production system, built within 3-4 weeks and on a boat within 8 weeks! I know this is going to the EU but I took a snap of this random car below so you can all see (if you're still waiting like me) how quickly it all seems to be happening currently!

Deysha confirmed my car got to the docks on Tuesday so fingers crossed for Tiger next week :headbang:

Just an observation; the car you picked seems to be a LHD car destined for Europe. The European cars have always had shorter delivery times than our cars.

I edited as I forgot to include that in my post, but the Cotus dates for my vehicle are only 5 days apart from this one so hopefully the docks at Baltimore are just as efficient now.
Looking at the Tysla load of vehicles headed this way it would seem to be the case.
Fingers crossed the massive delay in issuing NSC's before November was to clear the backlog and improve the system.
I guess I'll know next week for sure but it all seems promising and positive:)

Folks - dumb question, but if all you have is your order number (so no vin and no dealership number) do we know if the COTUS website will still pick up your order in tracking. I'm a little way off (ordered May 16 and Order number in Nov 16) so I'm expecting build some time in May this year and delivery around about Aug - but just interested to see if I need to add all the details or just the order number.

The order number you have is Australian. COTUS is a US site and (unfortunately) knows nothing of Australian orders. Until you have a VIN you are in limbo I'm afraid.

I'm not sure anyone will have theirs yet as those of us on the Tarago which was the boat before are still waiting. From what I can tell those that went to Port Kembla arrived on the 21st of December and they started delivering them to dealers on the 4th of January this week. Christmas may have held them up a week of course but it still appears to be a minimum 2 and a half weeks from arrival in port before you will see it. Just to clarify I am talking about the Tarago cars by the way so you guys may see yours a little faster.

It could be different for those delivered to Brisbane but there was no one from the forum who mentioned they had a Brisbane delivery. Man the wait once they are in Australia is the worst part ofthe whole process.

True, yes forgot to mention from Port Kembla, i would say that the car company (also being a new contract as well) were off from the Christmas and New Year period. It is a killer and went to see my dealer (car dealer Heartland not an actual dealer as I'm not up to that point just yet i need substances to keep me calm, close though) and dropped off my Lakin Plate holders. :frusty:
