@j-rowe14 may well be getting a visit from me this afternoon as I am going to be in Epsom for a little while ;)
I would just like to add that James has been excellent, passing on information as and when he has received it.

Just came back from my Dealer & their system says the same, w/e 25th.
Thing is, if our cars were shipped to Liverpool on a special to avoid making the backlog worse at Southampton, that means that there is no queue there.

Also, with whoever it was saying that their car was being forwarded to NI this weekend (on a ship I'm guessing :headbonk, doesn't that mean that there's a better chance for the cars to be forwarded quickly?

Chance of getting to dealers in a week? Could happen

Correct - only a very small vehicle handling operation there - I suspect 1000 cars would just about fill it.

Another, perhaps more compelling reason is that according to my mate who works at a Liverpool based shipping company, Liverpool port charges are relatively high so I can't see our cars hanging about there for long

Stace was on the pace and told me I will be on the Autostar heading for Southampton........and then up north to Northampton.

I suppose that's better than Littlehampton

So your not with us up North? Wonder how many of the Fedora went then?

I was on a different vessel, I was only in Zeebrugge a week.

Also, what's the most direct route to Liverpool ? it looks quite a trek around the coast for your boat.

Edited to say - ignore me, I think the Shanghai is already at Liverpool, good luck then guys.

Not just Ford. Colleague ordered a Porsche 9 months ago - build date has changed 3 times and now looking like August. No ones perfect

For anyone wanting to track it , the ship is called CSCC Shanghai. Currently pootling about off the coast of Merseyside , probably waiting for the Mersey pilot. My brother is currently working in Seaforth (likely where they'll be unloaded at the Freeport) so will try and get some pics

[MENTION=19311]tooley[/MENTION] Hey mate, any news from your Brother on movements? With no 'queue' up there, I'm wondering if they'll arrange immediate transport.
My dealer is adamant that the 25th June still stands & I'm eager to prove him wrong.

Ha Ha, I'll ask if he can swing by and take a look. I'm up there myself on Tuesday so hoping to see an empty car park !

Had a look on google earth at the Seaforth docks and actually counted the cars in one row - worked out that its max capacity is about 500 so I can't see them staying long. Interestingly, they've moved the car compound in the last couple of years - Apple and Bing maps have it in the old position but the google photo is 2016. Some in my brothers photos from Friday look like Jag F types so I imagine they will be going out rather than coming in. Guessing that it wasn't all the Fedora Mustangs on the Shanghai

Currently looking for the port schedule to see when the next car carrier is due as they'll definitely have to have them shifted by then!

Told my dealer where the car was on Friday evening - she reckons she can PDI and turn it round in a day once it arrives, and it seems Gloucester is the distribution hub for Vertu motors so getting very close !

Maybe there is a chance of getting them before the 25th

 

[tooley]

Better be - I'm off to FoS on 25th and I need it then !
