Hi guys, firstly thanks for the warm welcome.
as i was saying i was a little worried over her history more so because of her relatively low mileage 35k but the fact she was shipped from new to japan says to me its someone who's had money and the japanese tend to look after there vehicles and it would explain the low mileage...ive owned japanese imports before and they've always been well looked after (my mum has actually just bought a supra 3 litre twin turbo, need for speed is in the blood haha).
your right though we dont see many mustangs here, the newer model you see now and then as its gained popularity but the only one ive ever seen of the model in question was at an american car show, so yeh shes the only one around here.
i pick her up sat, the askin price is 10k, she's in absolute mint condition, looks like sh'es been garaged all her life and theres no signs of fading on the ragtop or paintwork. the garage said she's had some extras done and it looks like a full stainless exhaust system, however i dont know if thats a factory standard. she also comes with a V8 private plate which would cost a grand in itself there abouts.
ill upload some pics soon as i figure out. cheers
i feel a little more confidate now that a friend of mine is coming with me to pick her up too, he's an ameteur rally driver and spends all his time stripping cars back to there shells and rebuilding them so he'll know a heck of alot more than i will.

Are you sure it is not a US service members old car? It would be pretty easy for it to have gone to Japan and then England if it was. Not that it really changes anything though.
