Ford really hit the nail on the head with a RHD version of the S550 Mustang. There are a lot of people in the UK who always wanted a Mustang and this move took away every excuse for not importing one and getting it converted to meet UK regs (we can still run LHD cars over here but they need conversion to lights etc plus government single type approval and letters from owners clubs to jump through the hoops. After that lot parts back up and time consuming spannering is either DIY or take it to one of only a small handful of relatable specialists which for most are at least few hours drive away)An RHD Mustang. Now that's a must see!! Good that some folks in the UK enjoy American muscle.
Iāve always wanted one but having the time and money to keep an imported one has been a luxury. As it stands I can run my S550 V8 every single day of the year and it costs less to service than my Ford Focus ST used to and only consumes 2mpg more.
Theyāre still a rare sight in the UK and those who buy them are enthusiasts so thereās always the friendly wave, those who donāt have one know what it is including my 90 year old neighbour who said it makes her day looking out the window at it parked on my drive. Itās one of the very few cars in the UK which attracts mostly positive attention.
