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?
Here's a few thoughts on the subject...might help
I don't know you or your car history..... But I see it this way
. If I were buying a BM, merc or Mondeo I'd probably choose the colour combos that would make it easy to move on when selling.....in other words the safe options....But for me personaly this car is a special purchase, something I've saved for and desired, so I have to go with the colours, and spec that I want......I just don't see the point of buying something special, and not having what YOU want...
In saying all that......just be aware that on a hot sunny day in the summer, yellow will attract all the insects in the area...
Now that would be my reason for not choosing it, but if the insect issue didn't bother me, and yellow was what I wanted, then that's what I would buy........
No help whatsoever...

it's more the "it's a yellow American muscle car....is it bumblebee" that I'll hear once a week too, I really like the look of the yellow but it looks great in almost every colour combo (not a fan of the red though) if it was an obvious choice I'd not be second guessing myself. if I did change it'd be magnetic or black it looks so mean. hmmm think I have some time before I'm locked in.I don't know you or your car history.....

Sounds to me like you haven't really made your mind up, and the magpie syndrome has hit (go for whatever is bright and shiney)...does anyone know how many cars are in the first UK run?
Colour is such a personal thing.... You just have to go with what you want.....
My wife absolutly hates the fact I've gone for Saddle...... She calls it calf s
t brown.... But I love it...Tonypony said:

Not so sure on this, I had a V8 M3 in Dakar Yellow, didn't have much of a problem shifting it, quite sought after but it was an edition model. I'm not sure i like the yellow on the Mustang though, do like the blue so will probably go with that, or yellow or orange, damn, I just love bright colours, express yourself!!!!

The yellow looks fabulous and was my first choice by far.However I've opted for Ruby red purely to be more subtle for daily use. :-(
If you like the yellow and can live with it then fantastic! Go for it. Wish I could.

So does anyone think that Bill Shepherd will be selling many of those US spec GTs at more than £10k then the UK one?
Not a million miles from me, might go down just to see one in the flesh.
The prices Ford have announced will surely stop any New Mustang sales for independent UK importers? In addition I guess there may be potential UK buyers of Camaro, Challenger etc. who will now consider Mustang whereas they may not have done before. Not a million miles from me, might go down just to see one in the flesh.
I just wonder how long the pricing will remain at these initial launch prices? While I was waiting to see the 'Mustang Man'(!) at my local dealers I had a sit in a very dull looking Mondeo estate with a price tag of over £25k! Not much more for the Mustang!
thanks guys.....staying yellow (I've never needed others opinions before not sure why I started asking now!) this is my dream car and the look of that BOSS 302 is something I may try to emulate (already looking at carbon trim for a more yellow/black look... plastics look a bit cheap from the videos I've seen)

It's about £5k over when you take the spec into account.Not a million miles from me, might go down just to see one in the flesh.
There will always be people who want LHD, I prefer it. It also opens up selling them across Europe.
Bill will also be bringing in every version of the Mustang.
Not forgetting, also, that the imported ones will have annual VED of only £230.
). But the black highlights do help break it up a little also.
