Cars pretty much 2nd hand by now...I certainly driven it across Australia etc in my mind. I just hope I live long enough to actually sit in it.

It's been a long and painful gestation, I'm keeping my baby!

For anyone else that was built on the 31/05 I have received information from Ford Aus that my car arrived in Baltimore 06/06 and an expected ETA of 06/08 which I assume is for when it arrives in Aus/Brisbane. Puts us inline for the Fidelio which is what I was hopefully expecting.

Ford Service US on this Forum has also given me a different ETA of 17/06 when I asked about shipping details but I have no idea of what that ETA relates too.

I am currently waiting to hear back from each of them about what their ETA's actually relate too. Maybe someone else can make sense of the dates and ETA's?

My build was also on the 31/05

I was informed by Ford USA on this Forum that they could not provide me any information on when my Stang was going to arrive at the docks and on which ship it might be loaded. Here is their response:

Unfortunately, due to our safety policy we are not able to provide that information but I’ll be happy to provide the status of your order. The status is “In Transit.” The ETA is 6/17/16 to your dealer, which is subject to change. Please continue to check in with us for updates.

Clearly it will not be delivered on the 17th in Perth. This is the ETA date on ETIS. That ETA is for the USA and means nothing to us. I sent the same message to Ford FB and was told that my car had arrived at the docks but it was too early to tell which ship I may be on.

Hope this helps

I think yours will be on the Fidelio

Yeah you are probably right. There will be a lot of blue and orange Stangs on it.

So I got a reply from Ford Service:
"I checked on your order, and it arrived at the port in Baltimore on Monday 6/6/16. Once it arrives in Baltimore, I can’t track it any further."
Didn't say what the ETA of the 17/06 relates too and told me I can contact Ford Aus for more information.

Also got a reply from Ford Australia basically saying the ETA they gave me is their expected arrival at the Dealership of the 06/08. Only way that would be possible is if it was on the Tamesis that is leaving next week.

Now I'm not going to get my hopes up as clearly this time frame is way too quick from everyone else's experiences. To me it looks like they have missed a month in their calculations. I would of thought Ford would have the decency to quote ETA's conservatively so people don't get their hopes up only for them to get crushed when it gets pushed out another month. Glad I had found this forum and knew the facts before hearing from Ford, saves me from the disappointment that would of come when they give me a different ETA.

Hi Chris, yes your Mustang arrived at the docks on May-24-2016. No vessel has been assigned to it as yet, however judging by the ETA to Australia of 06-AUG-2016, we expect it to be loaded on the Tonsberg or the Fidelio.
Cheers, FordService^JS

Well to those that are approaching the process this should give you an idea of the time involved and not get too excited about unlikely deliveries. Mine was built 17/05 - delivery 6/08. 2.5 months. But at least I know the date now.

G'day Davo

Just wondering whether you have any up to date info of the schedule for the Talisman that my car is on

The ship left Baltimore on 19th May and was supposed to dock at Auckland on 12th June which was yesterday, and it's ETA Melbourne was 22nd June

Any idea why it does not come up in the marinetraffic website as having docked in Auckland by now??

 

[Davo]

Sorry, I don't have satellite tracking. According to the tracking website Marinetraffic, it must be close to New Zealand by now. It will probably appear later today.

Lots of status updates yesterday for TAMESIS so any potential VINs should check like crazy!
