Ran that thru the currency converter and that's close to$50 grand in US dollars ($49,836). Probably wouldn't be legal to do, but at that price it would probably be cheaper to buy one in the US and have it shipped to the UK.

it's perfectly legal to do that, you just have to pay the taxes on it when it arrives, they equate to roughly 30%,

If you click on the 2005 Mustang from that link, it says the 05 V8 has 300hp and 240 lbs/ft of torque... whoops has the same torque as the V6 stangs..lol

Here in England, Classic Mustangs mainly are commanding high prices, you rarely see a good condition 1968 Fastback for example go for less than £14k and Alan Carrington has an S Code that he is selling for £30k.

i dont know what he means, but im kinda excited that i actually know what that means!

thats partially why the Americans rebelled. the sugar taxes, and stamp acts and quartering acts and all the rest of em were all examples of taxation wihtout representation. that is, the English govt taxed the colonies without any of their input. they gave them what they called "virtual represeentation" which means that every representative in palriament looked after the entire nations problems, which is not true. most only cared for problems in their regions...

the colonies would have been perfectly content with being British if they only had equal representation in the british gov't. and all that combined with the various other taxes and the intolerable acts and then Lexingotn and concorde, t=plus whats-his-faces book, common sense, all pushed the colonists to an American Revolution

score! arin's not totally bombing history...

man... im retaining info from class discussions...holy sh...

Nick, thanks for your insightful comments, but I beleive that the discussion really isn't for a mustang board. As with anything, there are pro's and con's on both sides. let's just leave it there.
