Mustang Bullitt now on sale in UK | PistonHeads

I do love the Mustang maybe one day when they start coming down in price substantially

Time for an upgrade @Phil Hinton ?

Love it - but, boy oh boy, those American car interiors really are carp - Austin Allegro anybody?

Mine doesn't smell of fish!
Yeah, but when people give you the thumbs up at every set of lights, filling up takes 20 minutes because people want to talk to you about the car and that it takes some bottle to drive it properly, you soon forgive the interior materials and build quality. Plus the Germans would want three times the money for a V8 with that amount of power, but would never get the styling or heritage right. So each to their own. I had a high end Audi S3 and was bored to tears, but it had a lovely interior

There is a red one near me and it just looks amazing, they are just so different from the usual cars you see and quite rare.  I just hope they come down in price on the second hand market at some point in a few years so I can buy one.   I've always been hooked since the film gone in sixty seconds.

Picked up a 2017 Shadow edition in June, not really seeing it to be honest

Ive had some nice cars over the years , in 40 years of driving this is my 1st ever new car and I can't get the smile off my face

I don't get this thing with interiors, I had a look around a Bullitt Mustang on the Ford stand at the Festival Of Speed this year and thought the interior was nice, the seats in particular. I don't see its any worse than your Audi/BMW/Merc etc and a hell of a lot better than many.

The whole car was very nice and the colour was beautiful in the sunshine, £48k is a big old chunk of cash though. I should imagine residuals will be good due to the limited numbers and appeal of that model in particular.

I didn't think that was a Ford, especially not a Mustang; The steering wheel has the BL (Leyland) emblem in but isn't slightly square so it isn't an Allegro. I'm having to guess, Marina/Ital?

Thats an unhealthy knowledge of crap 70s cars you have looks like you are right about that pic being a Ital.

The Allegro wasn't quite as flash

That was a pure guess, and I can't find any images to confirm, but I'm leaning towards it's either a variation of Allegro without the square wheel, or it's a Marina. The Ital got a thicker 4-spoke wheel, the Princess/Ambassador got a more opulent interior, Mini was too small, I've also looked at Maxi but the dash and the location of handles in the door are way different.
