I think that it is fantastic - the only disappointment is not getting the Recaro seat option.

Yet.

BTW I just specced up the same Mustang that I have ordered on the US site and it comes out at $39,620 nett.

I presume sales tax is added to that. If it's 10% (I have no idea) then on an exchange rate of $1.5 to £1 the car is not much less then the UK OTR price. Well about a £3k saving.

Thought it would be far cheaper than that. OK I was bored

The UK launch pricing looks really, really sharp.

It seems a bit tricky at the moment to decipher properly what exact spec the UK cars will be. Basically it looks like in the U.S. you need to go up to the GT Premium to get the leather which we will get as standard, plus we are also supposed to be getting the GT performance package as standard. Don't know about new car taxes in the U.S but as you say croyde that spec comes out approaching $40,000 which currently exchanges to somewhere over £26,000. If you take off the 20% Vat from the UK list price of £32,995 for a 5.0 GT it comes to roughly £27,495. Not sure if I'm missing something but it seems amazing that Ford can get it officially to the UK market in right hand drive at the prices that they have announced.

Pricing on them is very competitive.

This is how much an import will cost you. Without manufacturer warranty and support.

The only good thing about this motor is the name.
Could be worse though thank god it's not the Capri

£43,950 and it doesn't appear to have the track performance, brakes, axle, gauges, 19s etc.

Nope. Just waiting for you to state your "case".

I've ordered a 5.0L Auto Fastback in Ruby Red / Ebony.

I've always fancied a Mustang and now they've moved the steering wheel over to the right it just had to be done.

I've had an estimate of about January 2016.

I'm in no hurry so that's fine...... something nice to look forward to. :-)

I can feel a nice big "Mustang Meet" coming on in 2016....

I have drivern the modern Mustang in America and its full of tacky plasticky crap. Boiled Sweets for clocks and still as the old back Diff . Your best to pretend to buy one and go for a test Drive Sunsine 😂

Good to see the Mustang attracting so much attention in the UK. I am here in the US now and I've been trying to get a dealer to accept our LOI for the Shelby GT350. - It seems the Ford dealers around here are not used to limited production pre-orders. Oh well, all we can do is wait.

surprised trolls can reach the peddles!

having second thoughts on colour choice now, so many people saying negative things about triple yellow concerns me on resale later, maybe a safer colour would be a better choice?
