A little of both!

Wait, your dealer emailed you without you emailing them first? :lol:

I know, I was quite shocked! Just to clear up though, the point I was trying to make wasn't that I was suspecting the same delay would apply to later orders, just that the dealer wasn't telling me anything I didn't already know!

At least some RHD's have made it to Baltimore but they are destined for Australia and New Zealand. They all appear to have 20th July on the window sticker and the sequence numbers are 200105, 200195-9, 200201 and 200281. I have only seen 3 or 4 UK VIN's but they all have higher sequence numbers so could there be a logical process beginning to appear? Of course, I am aware that this may now open a new debate centred around national rivalry.

May I ask how you are seeing the details please?

I don't get why there would be problems with the first batch of customer RHD cars because;

1) They build prototypes to iron out those said problems.
2) They knew about the RHD manifold problem long time ago and has also been proven with the "unveiling" of the RHD car at Dunton, which was built 2nd June.
3) They used a LHD mustang to test logistics, ports, transport etc to get it from Flat Rock to UK so again ironed out those problems.

Clearly something is not working right at Flat Rock with getting these RHD versions built but I can understand what that could be!!

We all know Obama doesn't like our close relationship to the UK and returned the Churchill bust that was in the White house. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10415601/Churchill-bust-welcomed-back-to-US-Capitol-after-Obama-snub.html
Ford was the only US manufacturer to pass on government bailout money and not get filled with political appointees. Maybe tin foil hat time but GM & Chrysler seem to have less trouble on the US side exporting thier shit......er... cars.:lol:

Karen has emailed me this evening, saying my car is still on schedule to leave Baltimore on Monday. :amen:
So I guess my car must be at Baltimore now ?

Wallenius Wilhelmsen seem to be Ford's preferred pacific shipper and using their tracking tool you can enter 1FA6% into the cargo id.

All the pre-production cars seem to have the 6 replaced with a T.

6 means seat belts and front/side air bags​

T means seat belts, front/knee air bags​

The UK's first RHD was 200091 (build date: 2nd June)
Australia's first RHD appears to be 200085 (build date: 2nd June) and arrived Melbourne 13th August.
New Zealand's first RHD appears to be 200105 (build date: 20th May) and arrived Auckland yesterday.

I just notice that 9111tiles has posted his car should leave Baltimore Monday which will be K-Line (so no tracking) on Basilia Highway in Zeebrugge on 19th.

Peter,
Is that 6 digit number from the "window sticker " ?
If so mine is 203673
Cheers

Yes, it's the last 6 digits of the VIN.

Do you know why people say they are unloaded at Zeebrugge before shipping to Southampton; cos the ships route is Baltimore, Zeebrugge, Bremerhaven then Southampton?

Undersealing apparently.

Any idea why my Etis page is now saying the build date was 30.09.2015 when it was displaying 24.09.2015 from 26.09.2015?!?!?!

It possibly went back into resegmentation

 

[Centurion07]

Remind me, resegmentation?

 

[Big_G]

Remind me, resegmentation?

One or more parts weren't available during production.
