Today was a good day, today was the day my stang arrived at the dealership.

Full points to James @ Hendy Ford in Eastleigh, moments after it was wheeled off the transporter I received a call.

I was expecting the car to leave Zeebrugge this Friday but it seems a 5 day turn around happened and she's here.

My timeline has been fast:

Feb 9th 2016 ordered
March 8th order amended to Grabber Blue
June 15th Build date
Shipped from Baltimore on the 20th July
Arrived in Zeebrugge on the 1st of August
Dealer for the 9th of August.

I have a 66 plate for the car (MU66TNG) so will be collecting it at 1030 on the 1st of September.

Anyway, enough talk, here's the pictures.







Someone mentioned the new roof bump



One thing I did notice was the difference between the DSLR pics above and an IPhone 6s, the 6s is much darker:





So the long wait of 3 weeks starts now!

Tack.

Well I'll be dammned, is that the first grabber blue in the UK? Haven't seen anyone else nearing one - Race is on to see if yours is the first 'On the road'

Any mods planned matey?

(also congratulations on the short(ish) wait, the next 20 odd days will be taunting to say the least!)

I can't say for sure but I think it might be the first.

The dealer hasn't seen any others and I've only seen one other member with a September build date.

Certainly one of the first.

Is the colour in the flesh nearer to the DSLR or the iPhone ?
DSLR. The first picture is pretty accurate, the others make it darker.

Agreed.

Ponder OTT stripes or maybe black roof and black mirrors. I'll probably run it for a few weeks before making a decision.

Any photoshoppers want to add some stripes to this pic!?

Black stripes with a white pinstripe?
Black stripes?
Black roof and wing mirrors?
Black Roof + Wing Mirrors + Bonnet stripe (or Hood spears)

All worth considering, but I'd do that with any 'Bright' colour. Mind you, looks good regardless!

Nice - looks mean! The roof nipple does not look that bad actually, could live with it.
