Ford has begun Asian exports of the latest Mustang with first shipments to Korea and China and opened order books for the first ever factory RHD versions in the UK.
The cars sailed from Portland, Oregon. At each port’s homologation centre, the automaker’s vehicles receive finishing touches plus customs documentation and tracking measures. Some also receive an underbody coating and documents in the destination country language.
