Yes I really should, perhaps with The Bullitt when it arrives, driving a Saxo for the Winter, shouldn't think the IOM authorities would allow it on the island:giggle:
Very similar timings, ordered in March, deposit taken in April, confirmation May, I am not going to get too worked up about delivery as long as I eventually get it, which hopefully we all will. As for driving it I'd only take it out in dry weather until the underseal was sorted.
That is a great shame I would have really liked them (and the brace), I wonder if anybody will cancel their order and import a left hand drive Bullitt or go for "A need for Green"? for the moment I will stick with my order.
Definitely at least one (maybe it was the Liverpool Docks one) I have seen the window sticker Biffboff is quoting 1FA6P8V01k5105316 blend of 250618 marked Export for the UK. No Gauges or strut brace shown. Among the items listed are manual fold mirrors, 87mm throttle body, equipment group 500A...
Pictures of one off RHD drives so far suggest they don't have gauges or braces...Perhaps we will get a refund from Ford for missing equipment and misrepresentation using American Specifications, for instance don't our GT's get bigger Radiators anyway, or is a Bullitt Radiator even bigger!
There are differences between the Aus and UK version, if I am reading it right Magneride is standard? and Recaro Seats are optional? Any other differences
I Know what you mean my original order was for a "Vert" . I believe the Bullitt should have the below in addition to GT available items:
Bullitt False Fuel Cap
Bullitt Kick Plates
Bullitt Steering Wheel
Recaro Leather Seats with Green detailing
No Mustang Pony Badges
Bullitt badge on instrument...
I am hoping that as there is only one it's some sort of test vehicle, I would have thought if it was the final production vehicle there would be more than one, perhaps its a Display vehicle for The 50th Bullitt Film Anniversary (17th October)?
Hi,
No nothing as yet, was chasing my dealer a couple of days ago for info, they had none. Not happy about the lack of gauges, suspect the brace won't be there either, I wonder if this will be the same for the other Right Hand Drive countries?
Talking about Ford making Money, my dealer phoned me up today and said Ford were releasing the Price on June 4th, he also asked if I wanted magneride as the only option, of course I said yes, is this in line with what the rest of you have heard? As near to the original Bullitt as we are ever...
Interesting are there many Dealers in Sweden? If all 20 orders have been accepted it doesn't sound as if they are going to be as limited as suggested? I have ordered mine from my local dealer, they have accepted my deposit and confirmed the order but I guess that doesnt mean I will actually get one?
Sadly I don't think they will, it sort of wouldn't be a tribute/ in keeping to the original Bullitt. but yes if they offered one id have it for definite. I think I read somewhere that Ford was doing packs and not individual items but who knows with Ford!
That's very interesting I wonder who the biggest Ford Dealer is in the Uk?
Yes like you I don't intend to sell my body parts to get one, I should have a fairly decent deposit, but some of it will be on Finance. Anyway fingers crossed and I hope you secure one too.
Best Regards
Adrian
Rumour has it 2 per dealer to start, Ford Uk Speccing them with the green paint & recaros initially as they feel it is more in keeping with the car, with more "Limited" availability later with possible inclusion of standard seats, I guess time will tell. Have sold my Supercharged Jeep Commander...
Yes Congratulations, looks really "Sharp" I really like the18's, Great choice of Number Plate, have to check out my local Ford Dealership and see if they have any 18's in yet, they said March.
