Like the title says. How often do you see a Mustang? And what type if known. Personally I see considerably more Ferrari's and Aston Martin's than Mustangs. Most common however has to be the new s197 GT. I sometimes see a 5.0 GT Vert. But it's a bit tatty and beyond it's best. Rarest funnily enough is the 99-04 sn95 model. I think I've only seen 1 one the road in tha last 12 months. Come on you guys, I know there's some Stang owners in the UK - get them out on the road!!!! lol.
Wow, only 1 SN95 in a year ? That's pretty insane... nice to see that there's some fellow Mustang lover on the other side
Actually the "SN95" body style ran from 94-98... I see one every day when i drive it to work lol but i just found out i have a hairline crack in one of the bores but luckily i have a spare engine in the garage that i am swaping it with Also, like i mentioned in another thread there are about 7-8 mustangs on RAF Molesworth and about 10-12 on RAF Alconbury...
yeah I know the sn95 started in 94 with the 5.0 The V6 variant of these is probably the second most common one I see on the roads, but the 99-04 ones are very rare indeed.
I should think that would be one of the best things about owning a Mustang on that side of the pond old chap, the rarity.
Owning a Saleen is rare on this shore as well, but not as rare as in the UK, I'm sure. Do you get a lot of comments or do people even take notice? You'd get comments in the USA for sure, so I just wonder how people react to a Premium Grade Mustang over there.
i do get comments on it, i had one guy almost mount the kerb because he was looking so hard the only problem i have it that the car is orange, it has 18" 5 spoke alloys, sliver graphics (saleen down the sides, standard stuff) and a spoiler.. if one more 16 year old punk says "hey, is that the supra frrom the fast and the furious" "has it really got NAAAAAWS" someone is going to die....

Funny stuff, man! They need some serious education on American cars, if they are mistaking riced out imports for American muscle. Dummies.
yeah, the kids round here all like *** or german cars... its real fun laying the smack down on them all... EDGE
s197 i seen about 5 of, mostly parked up in a garage called "american pickup trucks" in hyde. i have seen 4 99-04 stangs, 1 of them for sale, one on the motorway, one in my local tesco and one parked up in manchester. 94 -98 i seen 2, one yellow for sale, one black parked up in a garage. fox bodies, 1 black 5.0 GT pulling away from me in warrington. 4 hot chicks sat in it but they never saw me put my thumb up at them haha 70's i seen 2, one outside of the trafford centre, blue, i think early 70's and the other for sale. 60's i seen 2 of them, one black (1st stang i saw) and one shelby or a shelby clone on the back of a racing trailor. i think thats all of em
unless its been in need for speed underground, they wont know what it is. they know the 05s now thanks to that game.
yeah, its very worrying that some little dude the other week saw my car with a set of weld wheels on the rear, with bfg d/r's and said, oh.... they must be your DRIFTING wheels..... DAMN TV If ive got on a set of radials the last thing im planning on doing is sliding sideways round a track.... what's with everyone... dont they know what's going on in the real world... EDGE
Unfortunately, the only other Mustang I see here in Bosnia is a '97 GT that I once owned. As far as I know I have the only S197 in the country. I'll be moving to Macedonia/Kosovo area hopefully I'll see more there.
how things change! at any american car meet or show now, there are LOADS of SN95's almost all imported from japan of all places! i know of two other SN95's that are daily drivers, asside from mine, one in milton keynes (local ish) and one in swindon (96 cobra SVT) there is a very nice fox body about 2 miles from me, again, the guys only car. oddly though, i seldom see them in my town on the roads..
ive been seeing a few more american cars lately, especially around the US bases suprisinly enough !!!! The car park/garden at justin's the other day looked like the rear yard of a kwik-e-mart.. i think there was 4 stangs, my oldsmobile , a h2 and a jeep EDGE
