Didn't RHD production start yesterday?

So where are the pics, specifically of the interior.

I'm still clinging to the hope, because of our 'special' relationship that we'll be getting what the Americans have just with the steering and handbrake moved

I believe no mustangs have started build as the plant is on shut down so why any had a build date of Monday I don't know but 10th will be the earliest any actually get built now. Normally some of the first of any new build don't gate release straight away so fingers crossed yours don't get stuck in plant. My still doesn't even have a vin and is due for build on 25th...

Not what I heard today mate so why hasn't one single mustang for UK been built? Otherwise they would have started them and they will be lined up in a car park for weeks waiting for gate release. Something is up then

All i can suggest is either your source is misinformed or there are a hell of a lot of people checking in on Facebook @ Flat Rock Assembly Plant when they don't need to be there.

I even saw one comment suggesting they managed to build 1 RHD the other night. Lets all remember we are not the only RHD market involved in this, Plus they are being built by staff who have never had to build RHD cars before. Expect a slow production start up.

They probably keep trying to fit steering wheel to wrong side

Various Facebook pages not run by FORD. As good a source as any in my opinion.

Exactly they will probably start and get stuck and you will find later build cars get gate released first. Yes they could have been built for other markets but my source can tell me that the cars due for LL2 management haven't been built yet.
Valencia plant should have built s-max in February for the UK but couldn't till July in the end.. Ford screw most things up to start with.
