I think there is one car in Australia converted to RHD but I am sure it costs ££. Then again, a mere trifle if your numbers come up!

I am pretty used to LHD so it doesn’t bother me at all.

I’ve never got on with lhd manual, but I could be persuaded.

Bucket list, one of these, in burnt orange and a rhd conversion.

Enjoy, I’m very very jealous.

Good find, yes that’s the one in Oz I was thinking about.

Stunning.

Talk about sense of occasion. This one goes to 11.

All the more special, I reckon, when driven in the UK and during jaunts over the Continent.

Road and Track liked it too

Guessing you might be contacted by Ford fairly soon...

Thanks!

I wouldn't get my hopes up, as it is not a safety recall and you exported it to here which also voided any warranty you will have to pay for the problem to be rectified out of your own pocket.

Well, I know that!

The recall letter hasn’t yet arrived at my US address, so it is good to get the heads up on here.

You'd be surprised. I saw a video from someone who owns a Shelby GT350R in Croatia, and Ford USA are honouring the warranty to rebuild the engine.

Thought this thread needed a pic of my track pack GT500 in Performance Blue. I currently live in San Francisco, but will be exporting this (and myself) back to the UK this year.

Loving the look of the new GT500's.

Having placed an order 8-9 months ago whilst on holiday in Florida, my car has finally turned up at the dealership. Can’t wait to get it over to the U.K.!

Is yours just the track pack or is it the carbon fibre track pack?

had chance to see a carbon fibre track pack yesterday

There was a 500 at Rivo’s Hub in Poole over the weekend, sadly wasn’t able to get over to see it in the flesh.

That is the one I was looking at

[Robotron70]

It looked amazing in the photo’s, definitely a lottery win car for me.

Sorry for the late response. Mine isn’t track pack, it has most other options inc the handling pack. I didn’t want track pack as it deletes the rear seats.

First time I have driven it today after the winter and other cars to drive. Glorious!

[Electrics not for me]

Is this the model with the 5.2 engine? What is the standard power?
I drove one on holiday with the 5.2 n/asp. motor and i loved it. Revved so well for an American V8.

Sorry for very delayed response!
Yes it is 5.2 V8 (Predator) with a 2.65 supercharger.
You really don’t hear the usual supercharger whine, the V8 is loud!

Drove the car for the first time in a few months yesterday, it is just epic. Not only for the noise and power, but you can hustle it down a country road with friends in various 911’s and it happily keeps up.

Did you bring to the UK?

Yep! It's here. Was hoping to get some more summer use out of it, but it's lethal on cup rubber in the rain!
