IT'S HERE! My Shelby GT500 Finally ARRIVES in the UK
At long last, my Shelby GT500 has arrived in the UK! Having bought the American Shmeemobile last year, it was always the plan to import it to join the rest of my collection at @TheShmuseum and very spontaneously, the time has finally come to open up the container on British land!
After the Gumball 3000 finish in Miami, my car was dropped off to commence the sailing across the Atlantic with the help of My Car Import. While delays, strikes and all sorts have pushed it back, the day has now come to open up the metal box and see it for the first time over this side of the pond. Still complete with the Gumball sticker livery over the top of the Grabber Lime paint, it will stay like this for a short while during which it goes through the process for UK IVA and registration.
A few changes are needed for the headlights, taillights, fog light, and more, which is exactly where My Car Import step in to manage the process exactly as they did with my SLS AMG Black Series 2 and a half years ago. It will take around 2 weeks to get through the test, and then another couple of weeks to be completely registered and available to drive back home for the first time. That will time very nicely with the end of my US tour with the AMG GT Black Series, when I'm back home following that adventure.
The shipping route has been filled with ups and downs, although the call came out of the blue that it had arrived, hence the spontaneous change of plans to drop everything, grab my Focus RS Heritage Edition, and get there in time for the container unloading.
