American Cars - Mustangs UK is empowered by two people (who have 25 years experience in the motor trade) who are extremely passionate about cars.
We are dedicated to providing the best quality cars. Because of this we source our cars from only elite contacts and when the cars are being converted to UK legal standards no corners are cut. Every part we use and every piece of workmanship is carried out to the highest possible standard as nothing less will be tolerated!
Our high quality conversions are unique of which we are extremely proud.
You may be wondering what is involved in the conversion to make the car UK Road Legal, this is called SVA test by the Vehicle and Operators Services Agency.
Here is a list of just some of the changes we have to make:
- Fit new Rear light clusters
- Modifications to the wiring loom are carried out to give:
- Rear Fog Lamps (as the US have no rear fog lights)
- Alter front Fog Lamps
- Brake lights
- Rear flasher / repeaters
- Side Flashers / repeaters are fitted
- Front side lights fitted
After the test is completed we then carry out further improvements to the car including: we wax oil the body to protect it from the harsh British weather and fit any extras you may have chosen like Bluetooth, lowering kits e.t.c

Muscular engines infuse Mustang with tire-smoking performance. The 4.6-liter aluminum V-8 has three valve heads and cranks out 300 horsepower. That’s more than 50 percent more power than the small-block, 289-cubic-inch V-8 found in the classic 1964.5 model.
The standard engine – a 60-degree, 4.0-liter, single-overhead-cam V-6 – produces 210 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque.
Both engines are paired with a standard 5-speed manual transmission or an available 5-speed automatic, which provides a unique combination of off-the-line jump and good highway Fuel Econamy
At the front suspension, MacPherson struts with reverse “L” lower control arms deliver comfort. The three-link rear suspension has a lightweight, tubular Panhard rod that provides precise control of the rear axle. This technology stabilizes the rear axle as the wheels move, particularly during hard cornering.
The standard four-wheel disc brakes have the biggest rotors and stiffest calipers ever fitted to a mainstream Mustang. Twin-piston aluminum calipers clamp down on 12.4-inch ventilated front brake discs on GT models. In the rear, the brake rotors are 11.8 inches in diameter.
