How many S550 Mustangs in UK?

[W111BOB]

Just to stir it up a little further .... does anyone have a colour breakdown of UK Mustangs?

i.e. which is the most popular and so on?

It seems that some new colours are coming in and some existing ones are soon to drop out (triple yellow for example) so now might be a good time to figure this one?

I'm bored on a Saturday morning so I've been trawling the old threads and found this one.

I took a look on howmanyleft and... (Some of this is approximated.)

Howmanyleft only has data up to end of Q3 2018 (it's not updated until the DVLA release the figures)

I think there are about 7000 S550 Mustangs on the road (all versions, the GTs are harder to calculate so I took the figure from 2015 onwards) As I say some figures are approximate. So it's ball park.

In fact based on 31 million cars on UK roads we take up 0.022% The 911 has 0.148% (about 46,000 cars). Common as shit really compared to us

The Shadow Edition guys are the rarest there's only 143 of you out there.

All in all we are pretty rare.

Got to be more Shadow editions than that surely, I’ve seen about 20-25 leave the dealership I work at alone, I bet a lot just say mustang GT on the V5 and that’s affecting the numbers on how many left, after all it’s down to the admin staff at the dealership to register a car with DVLA and most of the time they are women in an admin dept who really know nothing about the cars! (No offence intended just going off personal experience!)

i think there's that many shadows turn up to howden isn't there ;)

I was surprised myself tbh. Maybe that will change when the Q4 2018 data is released.

ghia mustang only ones i can think of that may have used that naming scheme would have been the fox bodies in the 80's

Maybe they missed a zero off the shadow edition number?

Wouldn't it be great if it was real? My resale value would be higher!

Sadly it cannot be......

Winter is here, guess that's the reason

People coming from their front wheel drive hatchbacks not being able to control a powerful rear wheel drive car, especially in damp conditions? Makes the cars even rarer

First cars were delivered in winter, on summer tyres

i use summer tyres but just don't take it out in cold weather or drive cautiously. Virtually all cars especially performance cars come with summer tyres in UK. All weather tyres are just an awful compromise for performance cars.

Those Pirelli P Zero weren't good even in the summer, swapped mine out for all weather MPSS

My winter tyres went on today. Michelin Alpins.
Much better.
I was very, very tail happy pulling out of any junction yesterday evening.
