Thanks for that, as always! Have you got to the bottom of yours yet?

Not yet. I was told it was in Dagenham then I was told it hadn't cleared customs in Flushing. (Thought it did this in Antwerp). Now I have been told it has cleared customs and should ? ? be shipped to Dagenham this week. If I am lucky I might get it next week. But then I have been told so many differing stories from supposedly reliable sources that I now don't care. It will arrive when it arrives. I am guaranteed a px price that I am happy with no matter how much longer it takes so that is good.

There's no customs to clear at Flushing.

There's a status of ANT CUST and only a status of NEW FLUSH.

Antwerp is where all the customs work happens.

That was what I thought. But I definitely was told that my car was at Flushing and hadn't cleared customs on Friday and was told yesterday that it had. But then according to one source it arrived in Dagenham last Wednesday but didn't so who knows.

Fingers crossed it made it over for you already!

Latest location on MME. I checked the place on Google maps and its the location of Ford Transport Operations (in Speke). It seems like its taken a freight train from Dagenham to Liverpool. I'm based near Leeds & my dealer told my my PDI will be taking place in their facility in Sherburn, so looks like my car is getting close!

Great video, I think that’s the first load of MME, hopefully ours will be on that doing that same journey from today.

The Yanks are coming!!

Interesting.

Seems strange that the headline mentions the UK but the article specifically states the deal is across England.

Maybe that’s why mine is taking longer to arrive as they have to transfer it to horse and cart at the Scottish border…?

A Horse and Cart? Blimey that's advanced- when mine arrives in Cornwall it'll probably be transferred to a leaky old rowing boat, if I'm lucky...

Where are you in Cornwall? We are looking forward to driving down in our MME if it ever arrives (not we aren't those pesky holiday makers, my in-laws live there and we will be staying with them!)

It's ok - mine will be met by a hoard of farmers shouting "get orrf my laaaand!" at the border of Norfolk ?

@portlandg

Hannah has confirmed my car is " in Flushing. It is estimated to leave over the next week"

that confirms what you've been told.

Congratulations, it's fantastic to see some cars arriving at least! Hopefully you'll have it by the weekend!

Do you know which ship yours was on from Veracruz?
