Saw that episode a couple of months ago and he seamed to like it considering it was an American Muscle car.
Most the time he just runs off reasons to hate it and never says a good thing about American cars.

The wife picked on the couple of negatives, like the american sat nav & interior finish, but it is on my must have list. The Mustang that is, the wife......

If they can land it in RHD for under $80k i'm in for sure

Clarkson owns a Ford GT.

And not the falcon GT, the 5.4l supercharged V8 monster that is in the dictionary under Muscle Car: Ford GT.

Horrible fuel economy, not that confortable, but he stated that he bought it because of the V8 muscle and sound...

I'm over TopGear now, it is too cliched IMO.

I like watching Chris Harris do car reviews now.

$3k shipping + who knows how much for RHD but undoubtedly one of the nicest cars around

There's about 5 in Oz at the moment. I'm mates with two of the owners so can vouch for how amazingly crazy stupid fun they are..
Are they all the long wheelbase mk 2?
I saw a blue one for sale on Carsales a few years ago for $70k, is that about right?
Were they all NZ imports or were some of them spend a year with it registered in the UK and bring them in that way imports?

Chris Harris is a brilliant reviewer and good driver.
