The Figaro is currently loading one of the largest single shipments of ponys bound for Australia

628 cars will set sail for our shores today due here in March
This will raise OZ S550 Mustangs to over 8000
43 days and counting

Would mine be on this boat.? It was completed being built on the 15th of jan but in my contract it isnt due to be delivered till 15/5/2017

STEEL PONY · « **Reply #2 on:** February 09, 2017, 11:00:01 pm »

There is a small chance it could as I have read some cars arriving at docks on 6/2/17 that are scheduled for the Figaro
Giving they allow 20 days transit time to the docks yours may have made it there on time but I wouldn't be confident
I would think the next ship would be yours
Have you got a VIN No. yet to check on track and trace

Mattryan · « **Reply #3 on:** February 10, 2017, 08:23:40 am »

Nope, No VIN. the email I got to say it was completed in the flat rock factory is the only correspondence I have gotten from ford.

Mattryan · « **Reply #4 on:** February 10, 2017, 12:43:43 pm »

So I just spoke to my dealer and he said it was expected next month so I guess it will be on this boat. How do I track it via VIN, they are apparently gonna send this through too

Thanks.

Mine is on the Figaro, I'm tracking it using 'Ship Info' app on my phone. Great app and updates hourly.
I calculated it will arrive in Perth no later than 20th March. Ahead of Dealer schedule.

Mattryan · « **Reply #6 on:** March 02, 2017, 06:05:56 pm »

Same here. Looks like its about to hit auckland. Very excited!!

STEEL PONY · « **Reply #7 on:** March 03, 2017, 03:14:33 am »

Figaros ETA into Fremantle is Friday 17/3.
Being such a large shipment there maybe a longer than normal wait between the dock and delivery to your dealership

Mine said to expect about a week from dock to delivery.
I hope he's right but I'm expecting a few more days

I feel for you guys.

When mine was delivered about 12 months ago, it was frustrating as hell to have the ship dock in Port Kembla (keep in mind I live in Sydney), but then sail onto Port Melbourne, then TRUCK the thing back to Sydney 10 days later.......

WHITEMARE · « **Reply #9 on:** March 04, 2017, 08:30:25 pm »

Left Auckland and only 4 days to Brisbane. Then onward to Perth(via one more stop?).

STEEL PONY · « **Reply #10 on:** March 05, 2017, 03:17:28 am »

Don't get too eager Karl
Figaro Still has 3 stops left before Freo, Brisbane, Port Kembla and Melbourne
I know it's getting close but cutting out ports won't get your car here any quicker

WHITEMARE · « **Reply #11 on:** March 05, 2017, 02:55:11 pm »

As long as I get it on or before Friday 24th I'm happy.

STEEL PONY · « **Reply #12 on:** March 05, 2017, 04:31:15 pm »

that's what I'm hoping for

GTA302 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 05, 2017, 05:34:40 pm »

Hi Ayjay, my GT Fastback was dropped off at Port Kembla as per my Ford email notification , I'm hoping to see the car in two to three weeks

Mattryan · « **Reply #14 on:** March 08, 2017, 06:46:28 pm »

So i just got an email from ford saying my car is on the tonsberg. I assumed my car was on the figaro as it was on the dock when the figaro was loading and my dealer said it would be here the 18th of this month.

My question is how often are they wrong and for those who have ordered one, are the emails ford send out accurate or ever wrong?

I was hoping it would be early....

Have you got a VIN so you can track it

Mattryan · « **Reply #16 on:** March 08, 2017, 07:04:37 pm »

Hi steel, i do but the tracking site i saw by ford only said it was in transit

Do you know of another site?

STEEL PONY · « **Reply #17 on:** March 08, 2017, 07:08:42 pm »

Go to 2wglobal.com (shipping company tracker)
Tap on track and trace the enter VIN. into cargo ID
That will show you what ship you are on and where it is
If there is no ship your car hasn't been allocated
Let us know how you go
Good luck

Mattryan · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2017, 07:18:03 pm »

Yep its on the tonsberg. Thanks anyway steel.

PonyFever · « **Reply #19 on:** March 13, 2017, 10:22:41 am »

Hey guys, does anyone know roughly what the delivery time is from liner release to dealer?

Seems to have been 'liner release' in Melbourne 08/03 not sure how accurate that is though...

Mattryan · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2017, 04:15:03 pm »

My Dealer told me to expect a week. 2 at the most and that was in Newcastle. If you dealer is in Melbourne city it should be a week and a few days at most.

WHITEMARE · « **Reply #21 on:** March 14, 2017, 04:46:13 pm »

5 working days I was told. I'm in Perth.

STEEL PONY · « **Reply #22 on:** March 16, 2017, 08:13:06 pm »

Looks like cars for Perth on Figaro have arrived. CEVA showing mine has delivery at dealer on Monday. Might have it by Wednesday

PonyFever · « **Reply #23 on:** March 16, 2017, 08:19:40 pm »

Awesome, where do you view this 'CEVA'?

Edit: Nevermind, found it. Mine hasn't moved from Melbourne docks, was meant to today. Damn.

WHITEMARE · « **Reply #24 on:** March 16, 2017, 09:10:21 pm »

Ship Info shows Figaro still down near Busselton(Thurs evening), should arrive by Friday morning.
CEVA shows scheduled delivery to garage Monday, but no Actual delivery time as yet.

All aboard the Figaro
