American Mustangs in the UK

[Ashlander]

Kind of a weird question but I can't make up my mind. I'll probably be moving to the UK in a few years (wife wants to move home), and fully intend on exporting my Mustang with me. Now, I have an '07 GT that I plan to sell/trade for an '03-04 Mach 1 or a '99-01 Cobra this spring/summer, because the 4V is a much more exciting engine (I also have an '01 GT I swapped a Mach 1 engine into), and I just love the Mach 1s, and the Cobra IRS would maybe be nice for a DD as well. I've also considered spending the extra money on a '12 Boss 302, since the Mach/Cobras chassis (and power) are dated, but I don't like the Coyotes as much. Just not as visually impressive, don't sound as good, and the Boss engine wasn't as drastic of a change as I'd hoped for the nameplate. Whichever I go with, I plan to be my last Mustang, and will be kept until I'm too old to drive it, then it'll be passed down.

My question is, which of these three do you guys think would be more interesting to see imported to the UK? Any other thoughts on holding value, rarity, uniqueness, 'cool' factor, etc, going into the future?

There are a few 12-13 Boss 302/03-04 Mach 1 owners in the UK. It's always good to see all ages of Mustang being owned over here and we have some fantastic owners clubs nationally and regionally. As for values, you would probably get a little more over here for good examples as they will be rarer.

I've seen a couple imported S197s over there, one of which was an 07 Bullitt. I haven't actually seen any S550s there since they actually started selling them. I've only been in England a handful of times since they came out though.
