Mine ordered mid December 15 was built on the 30th March and its sitting a docks awaiting vessel confirmed by Stacey . Dealer also called yesterday and told me ETA was 18 June .
Optimistic, but maybe possible.

If its in the harbour in Baltimore (but not yet on a boat) the wait could be anything from 2 days to 2 weeks.

Then its an approx 3 week transit from Baltimore to Zeebrugge

Approx 4-6 weeks in Zeebrugge

Then depending on coincidental timings, perhaps another week to get it to Southampton, and then another week to get it to the dealer.

If it were a 'quick' 10 weeks, then that puts you end of June... easily leading to mid-July.

The biggest hold up is Zeebrugge. Ive heard they are putting in effort to move things along more quickly there - so any short-term improvements could yield a quicker delivery.

Not to piss on peoples chips or anything, I just think sometimes dealers tell you what you want to hear, rather than being honest about predicted times.

Mine left Baltimore on 05 April and will be in Zeebrugge in a few days, and im not to expect it at the dealer until at least mid-June.

I see my car has now been discharged from Zeebrugge, whatever that means :shrug:
There's a boat called MANON sat where the SALOME dropped our cars off at Zeebrugge, I've just checked WWL to see when the next boat leaves Zeebrugge for Southampton and the name of the boat is the same so i'm guessing we are leaving Zeebrugge on this one which is heading to Southampton tomorrow, Young Manders.....does this sound right?

Think it means it's on UK soil....Southampton.
Have a feeling there is another stage Delivered from Zeebrugge before I am at Southampton

Wonder if it's they have finished under sealing the exhaust :lol: or could be cleared customs

Manders we need your expert advice on this.
From Manders detailed order process:

Your car will have passed the customs clearance, have been undersprayed by the team in Zeebrugge and be ready to take the short sail from Zeebrugge to Southampton. At the end of this 2 week period, your car will be put on a ship heading to Southampton. This will be on a ship that leaves ever Monday or Friday (well, the arrive in Zeebrugge on them days - they leave the following day) - You will know when youa re booked on a ship as WWL's tracking site will say 'Delivered from'

Yes it showed up on WWL site today, I've checked WWL for boats going to Southampton and MANON is the next one which leaves tonight, and seeing as MANON is sat in the same location as SALOME was when our cars arrived i'm guessing (and it is a guess) they might be put on her.

Picking up the Beast next Friday 29th April from the dealer!!!!!!!!!!
(With my trusty Manders Checklist in hand).

It has been an epic wait but even though I haven't test driven a Mustang, how can I not possibly fall in love with it from what I have seen and heard... That is my theory anyway!

Who wants to be blending in with the crowd - life is too short for normality and so close to joining the exclusive club I have craved for since April 2015...
