Capesthorne Classic car show today... lots of Mustangs of all ages on display, incl 3 S550's. One white, one MY18 in Orange, and a Bullet!

Haha, just found this thread, that was me in the Bullitt!

Passed a dark blue GT with white stripes 20 minutes ago on the A63 towards Hull.

How rare are Mustangs in the UK? With 83 pages of spotted cars I would assume they aren't overly rare, but have always been curious as to how our English brethren would view seeing one of our cars out on the road.

Not that rare, and supposedly the best-selling sports car in Europe! Quite a few around where I live, and I get the impression that every second car in Yorkshire is a Mustang

Well, I certainly can't blame them for that, I think they are spectacular!

A good friend of mine from work is originally from Leeds, he has an Aston Martin DB7 that is simply superb to drive. He has nothing but British cars in his garage, getting first-hand experience with them gave me an appreciation for them.

Still quite rare as I did 600 miles and spotted two, down my neck of the woods I will see one occasionally but not on every trip out

Well it's like that here sometimes too I guess.

There are times I will go to work and see 8 S550's in the parking lot though. You have to make yours unique here in the States lol

My car was built mid Jan 19, delivered mid March with a sticker on the windshield showing the number 9117.

I strongly suspect that number is a build total number, and counting.

Looks to me as though Ford, mostly, got the S550 'right', save a few niggles.

There are more than 5 or 6 (2015-2019's) Gt/convertible in Milton Keynes/Newport Pagnell area. Everyone loves them, the new quad exhaust in race track/sports mode is just music to the ears. Children/women, grans, everyone love them whenever one pass by. Absolutely cute looking, lovely cars.

It already has a few times......A/C compressor went out on it, it actually exploded in the engine bay. Shattered metal was everywhere and was quite a pretty penny to repair.

4 yesterday on my run to Stanstead airport, 2 x orange fury with the asymmetric black ott stripe, a white s550 - all on the other side of the motorway. As I was coming off the M11 to join the M25 I pulled in front of a guard GT with a custom blacked out front grille - looked to me like a bullitt tribute effort, red callipers, sounded awesome too.

I probably see a couple every week but hardly ever Race Reds, so that's perfect!
