S650 UK orders

[Eclipsar]

On my order form mine is listed as a MY 2024.5, but if it keeps slipping it might be the MY 2025. I don't have a problem with that though.

My biggest problem is that I need to organise the sale of my current cars, so I'd like a bit of notice. Plus the longer it goes on the less they're worth and more mileage Input on them.

Minor issues in the grand scheme of things.

It would probably have to go past August to become a MY25, but I am interested to see what is on offer, seeing the Mustang is 60 this year, Ford could do something special
You should be fine with notice as we are probably a month plus just for a build date, then another 6-8 weeks for delivery, but as you say your current car will keep devaluing

What did they send you a screen grab of ?
Was it your order in vista ?

I haven't seen a screenshot of mine only Text with
Contract Order no. -
VIN -
Scheduled week -

I'm still amazed at the difference we're having from not just the same dealer group but the same branch.
Do wonder when there demo car will arrive then did mention about getting me to test drive a gen 6 v8 when one came in but i've heard nothing for a few weeks. A quick check of their website and they have 3 at present including a mach1

You driven one before? I loved mine.

Regret changing to an F-Type.

As it happens:

It looks like they're coming thick and fast off the production line now....

Anyone had any updates on their orders
Was not much update from Ford sales at the Mustang event at the British Motor museum but good to hear and be able to sit in the GT they had there.

Nope, nothing new. Is it nice in the flesh? Did you get to hear it?

Yes was good to see it up close
Sat in it and started it up, he let me hear the different exhaust modes and it sounds great

Shame i missed that event as it's not far from me, also missed the event at goodwood.

Was it a RHD car or leftie ?

No update on mine still set for wk 20, think dealer is due to check again soon

Left hand drive car unfortunately

Either an EU model then or the US spec demo car they had touring the dealers for a while that wasn't road legal. When my dealer had it they tried to take it to a mustang special cars and coffee but they couldn't drive it there and by the time they'd found a trailer big enough to carry it they realised they didn't have any one who could drive the tow car as it was way over 3.5t

European spec mirrors on it so I imagine it is an EU demonstrator / early build

 

[Gregs24]

Any ideas what dealer brought it along ? Could of been mine as they're getting on for the closest Ford store and they were due a demo car in April

Dealer demos will be RHD. My dealer is not expecting their demo car until July at the earliest now.

Have they actually built a UK one yet? As my dealers has none built yet, with all dates being pushed

The information is sketchy at best, I've heard the UK allocation of DH is gone, but there's plenty of GT options available. No one can give any firm dates on any UK build, plus there's some discussion about supply chain issues still. I remember all this pain when I pre-ordered the 550, we got there eventually though.....

Yes all Dark Horses are gone, but a new batch for 25 is being planned, but the way they are pushing the build dates you start to wonder if they will manage to build them before the summer break
