These looks ace, in a sort of hopeless way. That's my excuse for having a bid on it, anyway.

Garage owner I use to work for had one as a daily drive-same colour and nick named "the pea". Looked absurd next to his Silver shadow and various modern ferraris. He loved it though, and it was thoroughly competent as simple transport.

very clearly spelling BASH. In the picture ive been quite modest and edited the 9 slightly

 

 

 

The listing is £0.99 so that you can send offers. Offers over £10k only. You will not get a response if you offer less.

 

The plate or retention certificate is "not for sale at £0.99".

 

The listing is for offers only.

 

Anyone want to waste £0.99?

Why has this got the steering wheel on the correct side?

 

 

We get a lot of RHD Americans here

Starting bid of £3,600 from a proper VAT registered dealer with ramp facilities so you can see how good it really is. Looks like he's thought of everything a dealer needs to do!

 

 

 

MOT expired 2015.

 

SO MOT IT YOU DIV.

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.

I think I need a RHD yank car just to experience this!  :mrgreen:

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.

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.
