For anybody given a June 2016 estimated build date like me, Stacey has kindly explained the following reason for the build dates now being estimated as July:
Unfortunately the plant over allocated for May and therefore orders have over spilled into June build slots, this in turn has then...
@SCC and Manders Mustang thanks for the confirmation...
Despite knowing that all of the great advice on the forum is that the dates should not be relied upon... difficult not to focus on the first date given for build.... I can't imagine the frustration of some members who have been waiting a...
Went for ST66 ANG....
Slight gamble that the car wont be ready and available before Sept, but based on most people's experience I think it's a safe bet that my car wont be here until very close to that time...
Anybody else treat themselves this morning....?
looks like Jimboy2 suspicions were correct.
I'd previously been given a build date by dealership of 2nd June... Stacey has just given me the estimated build date of 5th July...
So either the dealership got it wrong, or ford are now putting back UK builds for domestic market...
Gutted to be...
That's a nightmare.... surely they could ship the part in a matter of days - I'm sure you've asked the same question...
Hopefully, very close for you now though...
I think a lot of the Ford garages were caught off-guard with the mustang (no excuse though!)... I phoned a couple of places around...
Thanks QUIRKESTER
I bet in orange the GT is a real head-turner!
Slightly off topic, but have you seen many on the road around Milton Keynes/Bedford area? I'm still to see one on the road...
Although friends seen a couple over last few months (not orange though)...
MK Ford did not stock...
EB in Magnetic, dark saddle and custom pack for me, wish I could have justified the V8, but not on this occasion... I need the car as a daily drive and its a massive step up for me... so happy with the 2.3...
I'm in Milton Keynes (Bedford side) so very close... definitely try to meet, maybe we...
Dom, this looks great and is 15 minutes from me... I'm going to order a couple of tickets now... unfortunately will be without Mustang as not due until August...
Thanks... A coating like Gtechniq I think will definitely be worth the investment for me, it will be a pleasure to spend a bit of time each weekend washing the car, but after that I think I'll want to be driving it... so a three year coating which I can then spend an hour or so adding to each...
Thanks all, i'm liking the sound of investing in getting the car coated with something (every so often) and also investing in pressure washer, snow foam lance, clay bar/wax etc needed for the weekly wash.... maybe I'll invest in some of this now, and get all of the "damage" from poor technique...
Thanks @ SSC gonna check out detailing world now!
@ Manders Mustang - thanks a great help, i'm gonna start prepping the wife and kids for the fact that they've lost me for a few hours every weekend... still they'll get to ride in a clean Mustang
Thanks that's a great help, I'll check out the thread.
Also thanks for the product recommendation as difficult to know where to start, so appreciate the recommendation...
Again (as a complete novice) what does the 'detailed by a pro' achieve on a quarterly basis? Is this basically a high-spec...
Hi All,
Firstly, I just wanted to say how massively helpful the UK forum has been to me. I've been reading for a while and there is a wealth of knowledge among the members which is great to be able to benefit from... it also helps to read about Mustangs everyday while waiting for the actual...
I'm a mid-Feb order too and dealer confirmed build date of 2nd June.
Mine's an EB, which based on V8hgt dates, would seem the V8 and EB are now on similar timescales...
Or is there some reason for slower delivery after build for the V8.... maybe a much slower boat :D
