if you want RHD you will have to import from OZ, if happy with LHD there are lots of places in the uk selling mustangs, just look on ebay, you will find hundreds, i think some ford dealers may offer the mustang new but it would be LHD, i seem to remember a dealer up near Blackpool used to offer new mustangs, or fly to america and buy one over there and make a holiday of it, or fly to OZ if you want a RHD one and import

im sure they are out over here this year, but even if they are, itll still probably be cheaper to buy one out there and import it yourself, a year old mustang out there sells for less then $15k, some even going lower then 10k, depends on spec, exhange that to gbp and thats a few thousand off, import tax and re registering it roughly Ł2k off the top of my head and you've got a nice cheap nearly new mustang, only crap bit about it is the travelling getting it here but if you want to save 5-10k then its probably worth doing

A mate of mine bought a 6 month old gt500 which had been tuned to about 700hp off a import company in Luton. They seemed pretty good tbh. They gave the car a daft name that sounded more like a dildo! This was back in 2007 so whether they're still about is another matter!

Don't be buying a 'Wussss'Stang mate. Junk. I wouldn't buy a 4.6 3v either.

Look for a newer 302 (5.0) Coyote. Theeee best NA engine ford has ever built. Super high CR & very revy. Just bolt on's will yield 600hp.

I bought a brand new Mustang GT V8 in 2006 when I was working/living out in America. I did 19k miles in it then chopped it in, in all honesty it was total shite. I bought a jeep SRT8 and did 40k miles in that. Much better car but suspension harder than my GT2. I had loads of yank cars/trucks over there all brand new, dodge Ram hemi's F150, Chevy trailblazer SS was a great one, as comfy as a sofa but went like stink! Also was lucky enough to own a Heritage Ford GT. Apart from that one they were all crude and plasticy. And above all they are very heavy on fuel. I really wouldn't like to run one over here!
