Yes and as you say the order form had a part to sign where you confirmed they could contact you by phone text email so Ive no idea why this additional form was needed. Its “all fine” now
Thank goodness for that!
Anyone had an email saying the cars have left for the uk?
I haven’t, but in post #62 - forrest - said that he’d been advised that his car had left Hiroshima on 21st May, the car-carrier was the “Morning Cecilie”. She has recently passed Sri Lanka with an eta of the evening of 9th June at the southern end of the Suez Canal, breakdowns, storms, Somali prirates etc. allowing, which in my estimation would give her an eta of around 24th June at Zeebrugge from whence the cars will be transhipped to the UK. Which is probably why the dealers are currently giving an estimated delivery date of around 10th July.
Yeah…dealer called me today to advise that everything is running to schedule so far. Morning Cecile will be in the Mediterranean next week.
Took the opportunity to tell them not to bother to wash the car …I want to ensure it is done correctly from day one ??
Apologies but I also meant to say that I also received an e mail from Mazda Motors UK today to say that my car has ‘set sail from Japan’ ( it actually left 16 days ago) and that ‘with the purchase of this anniversary model I have joined a highly exclusive new chapter of the MX 5 owners club - a community for MX 5 enthusiasts’
I was then provided with a link to this site ??
My email with pretty pictures confirms my RF order is in production. So not going to see for a good while I suspect. Almost certainly will miss the best of the summer weather. Nice one Mazda!
Yep! There was one of those waiting for me when I signed on this morning!
Not a peep from Mazda yet - last time I asked by phone they said theyd get back to me
The “Morning Cecilie” has left the Suez Canal and is heading towards Barcelona (a Mazda Europe delivery port) with an eta 14th June 11:00hrs UTC/13:00hrs LT. Whether or not this is her only port of call I am unable to say.
I wouldn’t be too downhearted guys. With the summer we are having it may be a good thing that your cars might not turn up until late July/August. Some boatman might mistake your bright orange car for a mooring buoy We seem to have the best weather in spring/autumn these days!
Funny you should say that. I’d been wondering if Mazda had received a very accurate long-range weather forecast when planning release dates.
Well, the “Morning Cecilie” has left Barcelona and is now en route to Antwerp, eta Wednesday 19/6 16:00hrs.
New almost-ownr of RF here
I got a call from dealer yesterday. Got a date for July 8th, plus they want 48hrs to get everything ready.
With all the delays I will be on holidays when she arrives. So ever longer wait.
At least the ship hasn’t sunk and we will get them this year haha
BTW maybe a stupid question but does 30AE come with mats?
After leaving Hiroshima on the 21st May the ‘Morning Cecile’ has finally arrived in Zeebrugge this morning at 02.23 local time. I guess our 30 AE’s will be driven off the ship today and placed in the holding compounds waiting for distribution. The question now is how long will it be before they reach the dealers? I was informed several weeks ago that July 10th was the target date. Please hurry up Mazda…there is some good weather on the way!

Yes, “30th Anniversary” ones!
When does the next ship leave Japan? Given the vagueness about delivery dates Im getting from the dealer Im assuming mine is on that one!
ie not getting my hopes up…
Well, some lucky person can’t be that far from getting their 30AE
Lunchtime today on M62 westbound between j27-j26 I spotted this;
There’s actually two, one on the top deck at the back and 2nd one lower deck near the front!

It looks like the waiting could be nearly over for all you lucky 30AE buyers…the futures bright…the futures orange.
