3rd & 4th Year Order Process Update
- Thread starter jbrauertn
- Start date
No you are not. Year 3 is done. It's been allocated. If you were on the original waitlist, you were one of the 250 year 3 allocations. The only cars left to be allocated are year 4.
When I was at Multimatic I was told that 5 cars a week is the cap because the tubs need to sit in the autoclave (not sure that's the right word) for an entire day so no more than one per day can be built Monday through Friday assuming everything goes right. Some work is being done on Saturdays to partially catch up but it didn't sound like a tub was being built on Saturday. Perhaps somebody with better info can chime in here and correct me if I'm wrong.

big money but you would think they would have more than one autoclave for producing a car of this caliber and cost. not only that but it could be used in the future for other projects.

Its my understanding that MNV (multimatic niche vehicles) is the specific division that is handling the production of our cars. This division is what built the Aston One77, and is also working on the Mercedes Project One.
While not fighting for the autoclave in Canada, they also make taxis:

I specifically asked that question and was told no, there would not be another autoclave to build Ford GT tubs.
