This is the modern shape Mustang (S197 series) in alloy grey with dark grey (almost black) leather interior. It has only covered 15,000 miles from new. It is UK registered on a 56 plate and has MOT until February 2011 and road tax until the end of August.

Here is the full premium spec: Auto gearbox, air conditioning, angel eye headlamps (like a BMW), remote control central locking and factory alarm, remote control boot release, cruise control, Shaker 500 AM/FM radio and 6 CD in-dash multichanger player (that also plays MP3’s and has an extra port - presumably for an iPod or similar), 17” GT alloy wheels with Pirelli P6 tyres (tyres have done 1000 miles only), “MyColor” dashboard lights (which allows you to mix and match lighting at the touch of a button to create more than 125 colour backgrounds), heated front seats and electric drivers seat.

History: We imported the car ourselves in 2008 (with 8000 miles on the clock) from the reputable Andy Shaw Ford dealership in Sylva, North Carolina. This was Andy Shaw’s (the dealer principle) own personal car, hence the rare colour and high specification and equipment levels that are almost unheard of on a V6 model. (Copies of all the US paperwork and all import documentation come with the car too). The car is totally original and unmolested (apart from the EU lighting conversion naturally) and even still has the dealer tag on the boot and the “North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles” safety inspection sticker in the windscreen.

I would describe the car to be in superb condition – if not showroom condition – inside and out. The pictures speak for themselves really. It drives absolutely perfectly and needs nothing whatsoever doing to it at all that I can find. It looks and drives exactly like a 15,000 mile car should. We have both original sets of keys and fobs for the car together with service books, handbooks, log book, MOT, etc.

Anyone who wants to check the cars history using the VIN number is more than welcome to do so. There is no finance on the car, nor has it ever had any accident damage or paintwork; potential buyers are welcome to check that as well. I also welcome any professional mechanical inspection prior to sale.

From what I have read they seem to be a good reputable company. He has answered some of my questions on the Mustang forums without pretending that everything is a state secret like some service providers do. 

Surrey Mustang is also the manufaturer of the rear light units that have been converted from US spec by replacing one of the reflectors with an orange lense.  That is discussed on the rear light units page. 

If I needed to use a specialist for anything, I would use Surrey Mustang as my first choice.

If you know another one, you are welcome to add it using the comments box below. It tends to be the case that many people will cross inhabit both forums, and as a result there are many duplicate topics and posts by contributors. 

The forums are an excellent resource, but of course one must often wade through the off topic posts and white noise that forums invariably attract to get to the information you want. 

The first is the forum for the MOCGB (Mustang Owners Club of Great Britain) You can go straight to that forum by clicking this link. 

The second is a forum dedicated to the S197 Mustang. You can go straight to that forum by clicking this link. 

I am unaware of the connection (if any) between the two, nor the attitude of one toward the other. They seem to link and reference each other so it seems doubtful there is much rivalry between them.
