Mustang UK on sale June 2015

[Holf]

There is a reversing camera as standard, its just the "beeping" sensors that are extra

Interestingly, this says we're getting Guard, yet the EU website doesn't have it listed as an option....

Will have to read through this in more detail, thanks lewi!

Just to let you guys know I posted a thread about the above spec sheets

So I've just stumbled upon this website used to hold the marketing information for all of ford Europe's new models.

http://www.fordmedia.eu/skill/cars/

Here's the Mustang 'Press-kit' page

http://mustang.fordmedia.eu/enhanced.htm

and also for the new ST and ST-diesel (yes STD would be a funny name )

http://focusst.fordpresskits.com/enhanced.htm

Also the new Edge, Mondeo (fusion) and S-Max

http://edge.fordpresskits.com/enhanced.htm

http://s-max.fordpresskits.com/

http://mondeo.fordpresskits.com/enhanced.htm

I'm not sure if these sites have any more info than we already know, but they seem alot more informative than any of the current ford web pages

Edit : Mustang Euro Spec sheet

Yeah the backup camera is standard across all US models so it would make sense for this to be standard in Europe too

Guys - I've been told by Ford that only "Ford Stores" will be authorised to sell the Mustang in the UK. Apparently being a Ford Store involves some kind of refurbishment, staff training and a special area dedicated to the Mustang and other high performance Fords. As I understand it, this represents a small minority of all Ford dealers and all of the dealers I have phoned so far have stated that they will not be selling the car.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all Ford Stores, so I can work out where my local Mustang dealers will be? The list doesn't seem to exist on the Ford website.

i was told a similar Story a few months ago by the Ford dealer where i bought the ranger pick up

i guess this is a part of the premium strategy (Vignale)

on the other Hand Ford has already started such a program for the Transit van (competence Dealers with extra fast Service)

Yeah, my local dealer said not all dealers would be getting the Mustangs, but that was all the detail I got at the time....sounds like we're slowly getting more info!

I heard the same some time ago.
My deealer does not know if the are going to be a ford store but I think the have applied. Mind you I have also heard that it will NOT just be Ford stores.
fact is, Ford dealer know about as much as we do. In fact, I think we know more!

I think it's a good thing only certain dealers will be selling the Mustangs as some of the dealers are completely incompetent. For example, when I asked a local dealer about the Mustang they said "I'm sorry but we only sell Fords!" With a car like the Mustang I want it serviced by professionals who actually know about cars.

Whoever from the UK (and from this forum) gets the Mustang first, please let us know as I'd love to see/feel her in the flesh, if possible ;)

I contacted three Ford dealerships within 50 miles of my home to see if they would be selling Mustangs. My nearest already knew they would not be an authorised dealership. Of the other two the Ford dealership in Bristol which is directly owned by Ford UK did not reply to my email, whilst the Exeter dealership came back immediately and confirmed that they would be the authorised dealership for the area. One of their sales staff is designated to handle Mustang sales and has started a mailing list for those who register an interest with them. He's promised to issue updates on a regular basis and to invite those on his register to preview sessions etc. He did point out that with only 1500-1700 'stangs being available to the UK in the first year, it would be impossible for every Ford dealer to be able to offer and more importantly, service them. Which raises an important point. If like me you live in a fairly rural area with dealerships quite far apart, you'll need to factor in travel to your authorised dealership for routine servicing etc. with long boring waits on windswept business estates whilst they do it!

So nothing different from owning a Mustang on this side of the pond in the previous 50 years ;)

Yes, I have just heard from a pretty reliable source that we are just under a year away from the car being in the UK
Disappointing to say the least!

 

[thumper]

it's too bad ford cannot make enough of a profit to justify setting up a european production line for the mustang. with just the one assembly plant in michigan trying to supply global orders i can understand why it is a disappointment for overseas buyers.

 

[FelixGER]

September?? Noooo! I thought summer...

 

[Lord Thunder]

I'm getting thoughts of dangling carrots ....

Let's hope it's not going to be another 'New Mondeo' episode ... The car they call the Fusion in the US is only now being SHOWN at the dealers ... I'm not sure you can even order one yet. And the US has had it for, how long?
