SiC Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 They were sold new RHD here. Every now and again the US motor industry has a crack at selling stuff here. Now many people buy them, so an accountant in Detroit says "what the hell are we doing this for?" and they give up. Rinse and repeat. My 1956 Chevy is RHD, as are my 67 and 68 AMCs All were sold brand new here and have remained. I think Ford is doing RHD Mustangs at the moment. It is pretty funny actually - I have had open hostility from Yank fans (usually the kind who wear cowboy boots and wave the battle flag of the confederacy around) to having RHD yank cars. The Mustang is selling like hot cakes over here (and in Europe) at the moment)! Even more interesting is that the vast majority of sales are not the EU friendly 4-pot, but the V8... Ford Mustang outsells Audi TT! Give us a big engined American car that has reasonably good suspension (admittedly not the best in class), an interior that is a bit better than a Mondeo (again not the best in class) and don't rip us off (more expensive than the US, but very cheap against similar others in its class), then we'll buy them! ... However, our sales are a small blib compared to the US sales of the model. But it does other things too, 1) raises the Ford brand, 2) these Halo cars is what sells their other cars (M5/RS6/etc don't make a profit as a individual model, but they massively pull up the others), 3) the sale price is sufficiently higher to cover these extra costs. sheffcortinacentre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cros Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Ebayer wants more than £7000 for this. The cost of restoring it alone would buy you a decent one except that for me there is no such thing as a decent TF - the runt of the T series litter. A factory MG with kit car looks. garethj, AMC Rebel and mouseflakes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
