Detailed Order Process (UK-S550)

[Gregs24]

My build date was 28 Nov and since then, on a Thursday I think each time, more and more details have been added to my ETIS. I asked dealer if he could spec a heated steering wheel as I saw them standard on the US Bullitt but he said it wasn’t available. However there’s one on my ETIS list so are we all getting one or is my dealer a really nice guy?

Latest from him is car arrives with him 20 Jan but at the moment I don’t know where it is, still in USA or on a ship somewhere. More patience required....

Heated steering wheel is standard - you just need to look on the Ford website price list pdf. Dealer is somewhat off the pace if he doesn't know !

ETIS was updated last night for my December 17th build with full spec

If it was built on the 28th November it should be on a boat by now, arriving in Liverpool in the New Year

These are the ships you need to keep an eye on - one of them will have our Mustangs on at some point. My bet is on Atlantic Sun which has just arrived in the US

Atlantic Sail has recently left Baltimore

Too early for my car as it was only built on Monday but some of the late November builds should be on it

It seems likely that my car arrived in Liverpool a few days ago, or left on a slightly earlier ship that gets to Liverpool via Germany first, and arrives Liverpool tomorrow. It will need a road transport to Portsmouth then another ship to get to the dealer, but I received a text today saying the 20th was still expected to be the arrival date. Ready for collection around three days after that he said.

How are you other guys doing?

Pleased for you, but still no news on mine

It's likely mine's arriving here on the ship coming in tomorrow too. Spoke to the dealer today who said it left on a ship on the 26th. I'll get an update from him next week for I guess the collection date and should hear about reg number choices soon too I guess.

Sorry to hear that Steve. My build date on the window sticker was 20 Nov but the actual date, that later appeared on Etis, was 28 Nov.

I’ve heard some say that the options you choose can affect the build date but I’ve got lots of choices on mine and I’m going a little quicker than yours, although I don’t know what you specced of course.

The Mustang girls did reply to an email back in November but not to one I sent in December. I believe they do this information service on a voluntary basis so they might just be on holiday, or indeed swamped.

My dealer sold his demonstrator two weeks ago and is expecting a replacement very soon, but I suppose he gets what he’s given from Ford UK and doesn’t have to wait for one to be built.

you had yours yet Pegasus? Mine due on the island a week tomorrow.

 

[Pegasus]

That's good. Still waiting on a new date for mine. The dealer is waiting for Ford to update him so he can update me. So close but could still be a while.

From the ACL website I've got the information below....my blend date was 03/01/19 so it could be on the Atlantic Sky (hopefully!)

 

[miketango]

8 weeks worth...

Miketango that sounds about right, mine was two weeks from build date to getting on board. Looks like we’re going to be twins, apart from your black wheels. I see your order date was just a week and a bit after mine, and your build date a month after (but with Xmas holidays in between). Conclusion is the factory isn’t shortening their lead times at all.

Did the blend date on your window sticker match the build date on ETIS?

 

[miketango]

Yep, ETIS build date matches the blend date from the window sticker

 

[1Mikey]

Interesting, I had 10 days difference but I don’t know of anyone else who’s dates don’t match. They have the wrong wheels on the sticker but the right ones on ETIS. Anyway it will all be forgotten the moment it arrives.
