Thanks Guys for your comments, car arrives very shortly on a trailer as I am still not able to drive until the new year. This is the second time Hospital have removed my licence but the time is passing quickly. I will post more pic's soon of the Mustang parked along side the Chevy Griffith.

Just couldnt part with my Griffith so made space in the Garage for two toys and the wife was truly great about it shocker! The Griffith is the beast of the two cars and is just stunning to drive but the Mustang completes a childhood dream and is very loud. I can finally take the family out for a blast which is great. Ian will fit some more bits to the Griff in the New Year to make it look like Franks engine bay and thats it finished fingers crossed.

Thanks Guys for comments and continued supportclap

I can't wait until I can drive the Mustang but sadly I will have to wait until Feb/Mar 2013 when it is hoped I will be able to drive again fingers Crossed.

I am trying to get out to events and the wife has agreed to play taxi as long as I promised to keep my opinions regarding her driving to myself.

that is lovely, you dont see too many real ones about either. or at least not in england really. smile
Hi James
The Car was used in the states for racing!

Its not original but is very authentic and I am waiting to speak to the original owner in the US about the car history.

When the car arrived in the UK it was rebiult to UK spec. With except of the Roller Cage most racing parts where left on the car and as you can see a stunning job was done.

Was it rebuilt by Legends Automotive? One of my friends worked there for a bit and had a full resto to do on one... it was stunning!!
Hi Dave

No it was a company in Scotland call Classic Mustangs UK they import a lot of cars and are very reasonable in their pricing.
