    Generally speaking Stangs are a rare sight here.You might have a better chance in a very big city like London but where I am I personally have never seen one on the roads. Well thats not strictly true. I did see a 66 convt about 5 years ago but thats about it.Ford never marketed them here. I...

She misses the CA sunshine and I want our baby daughter to have the best possible start in life.Anyway Ive always been an Ameriphile and love the idea of being able to use a convertible all year round! With that in mind Im...

    Ok then..is it realistic to leave the O/D permanently engaged? Will this cause any damage or just improve MPG?

    When I first started looking for a Mustang I decided to go for the 5 speed as I figure its the sportier option. However as I said before the car I found in the Auto Trader looked like such a bargain that even though it was an auto it warranted being checked out. As it happened I so loved the...

    Yes ...I agree in the US..Stangs are a common enough sight....but in the UK we just dont see them. Ford never sold them here.The only ones you are likely to get a glimpse of are the few rare private imports and of course all in LHD.Its the rarity factor here that makes them so very special.Most...

    Correct!..the Cobra rear lights are perfect for the UK roads.Im sourcing a set now on the classifieds..I assume I will need a set with the correct conversion connectors?

    Listen guys ..I cant tell you how good your support and encouragement makes me feel.Its good to know that in a Mustang you are part of something bigger.I have to say thats not always the impression I have been given on some other Stang sites. Pity really.But hey no worries as they say.Yes the...

    Thanks guys for the warm welcome....shipping is not so expensive......but there is tax to pay to Mr Blair..lol. I have worked out that even with the shipping and incidental costs of making the car UK legal it will still be worth more here than all the purchase and shipping costs etc.My car is...
