    Hi; I'm from England, and I am not only new to this forum, but new to Shelby ownership, having just bought a '69 GT 350 four speed. I hope to pick up lots of useful information here that will help with the restoration. Hope you'll all pitch in & help!

    Welcome, quick ?? Is it easy for you to get parts, new or used for your restorations . Or do you have to use the venders here in the U.S.--Thanks---S.

    Most Mustang parts are available in the UK from specialist retailers, but it's cheaper to buy from the US and import it (go figure!)

    Shelby specific parts usually come from the US. I've used NPD, Branda, ShelbyParts and many others - usually with no problems at all.

    Hi, I'm in Rugby, Warwickshire (midlands)

    Parts are not a problem, as the man says; we buy them from the USA & Fedex them to Europe.

    You're not too far away. Will you be bringing the car down for the MOCGB rally at Capel Manor?

    July 7th....might make that before work begins on restoration.

    Yes, close, but no stripes....YET!

    I'm sure it's the same car your thinking of, not many hidden ones over here, eh?
