They come up quite regularly on eBay from a number of suppliers and also on the usual suspects like Levittown e.g.
http://www.levittownfordsupercenter.com/ford-mustang-spare-tire-p-3489.html
the eBay ones are generally $160 approx. plus shipping, duty etc. I think mine will come out at around $300 all in. I just won't be without a spare of some sort given the state of the roads around here and the profile of these tyres.

I suspect it won't fit over the GT brakes at the front (although it lists as compatible), but I wouldn't want a space saver on the front so some swapping around would be needed.

Not sure how you will be swapping around your wheels mate as you have a GT, which means a staggered wheel/tyre setup??

Ford Service free for a year on new cars don't forget but yeah if you are say a few miles from home then your solution may help you quicker lol

This was one of the first things I bought. Imported, cost a bomb for what it is. Having a spare has got me out a couple of jams in the past, so thought it would be worth having.

I didn't know this! Do you mean we get free breakdown service for the first year?

If you take their maintenance plan it gets extended to three years and covers all punctures repaired free.

£180 plus vat+tyre.

For just over £200 (plus vat+tyre) you could have a full size wheel...

I had no idea! Got an AA membership bought for me, so probably wouldn't use it mind you. At least provides a get-you-home in case of a flat, then for roughly the price of the space-saver, you could keep a proper full size spare at home.

Unfortunately it won't fit in the spare wheel well in the boot.

Other cars (e.g. Honda) use the same wheel PCD, so you could get a second hand one for a fraction of the cost. I looked on ebay for a while though and nothing came up with a suitable diameter tyre.

Presumably it would fit in the boot though? A bit inconvenient, I grant you...
Buying a full size wheel just provides a direct replacement for your first dinged/kerbed rim.
