Shelby GT 500 outside the Baskerville in Shiplake

[Origin Unknown]

Does it belong to anyone on here? I'm assuming it's genuine.

[Stig]

Don't know the car - but good to see someone who knows the Baskerville

There area few Mustangs kicking around the area (mine was one of them until I sold it recently). Oddly enough I took some pics of mine outside Shiplake College until the groundsman kicked me off

[Origin Unknown]

We love the Baskerville

Please tell me you live at Thames Side Court on Bolney Road, Stig. My kids are desperate to see the mini-railway running!

just looked at their menu, everything priced apart from the Breakfast menu?
Pricey / good? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Always on the lookout for a good brekkie

Alas no - though I know the railway of which you speak, its been there since I was a child!

I live a few miles away in Kidmore End. Went to Shiplake primary and then to Gillotts, so I'm about as local as you can get

I know who owns the car and am pretty sure it's genuine.
He lives just off Station Road in Lower Shiplake.

Hardly ever see him out driving it though.
He brought it to our Shiplake Classic & Sportscar Show 2 years ago, but wasn't able to make last years event. Hopefully will be there this June.

There is one other Mustang in Lower Shiplake, a 1972 convertible.

I know Mark, the owner of the '72 convertible.

I haven't seen that GT500 around before, though.

There's also a chap called Tim who owns a '68 GT350 replica who lives locally.

I own a 1971 Mach 1.

Love the basky!

Didn't know there was a GT500 on station rd. A chap on Bolney Rd had a nice little collection going on recently.

Origin
If your kids like riding on miniature railways. Our one at Jocks Lane Bracknell runs every second sunday from qApril to October and all bank holidays. Mixture of live steam and battery locos.
There is also a good playground and pitch crazy golf, plus a good cafe. Getsd really wedged on a good day.
If you follow the signs to ?Bracknell from Twyford ,you will go past the Stg and hounds pub, ( ggod Grub) over the hump back bridge next to Wyevale Garden Centre and take the next right. the roundabout is either 'straight on or right, take the straight on past the new housing on the left and next rnabout take second exit. You may see the track from the road as it runs parallel to it, then first right into Jocks Lane and right into the car park.

See you there

I know Mark too.
He drives his Mustang regularly. Also has a Lotus Esprit.

Andrew, who owns the GT500 has had it for at least three years, but apart from our local car show, and that day he had it parked in front of the pub, (I passed by then too), I've never seen it.

MiL has just gone into a care home near there, will give me something to look out for when we are visiting. On a side note what's the Baskerville like?

It's a pretty sold village/community pub. Plenty of character, good restaurant and decent beer garden. Certainly not got the feel of a locals only pub which sometimes prevails in smaller villages.

I can't comment on the drinks etc as don't drink beer/ale. Sounds like we'd almost have enough PHers nearby for a Baskerville meet.

Andrew, (the owner) will be bringing the Shelby along to the Shiplake Classic Car Show on June 25th. Or so he's told me anyway.
Next Saturday at the Shiplake Summer Fayre.
Memorial Avenue.

I'll be there!

Great.

One of our regulars, who usually brings along several Ferraris, won't be there this year as he's out of the country.
So hopefully we can get some more cars to come along.

[sidaorb]

Going to be towing my new boat down from Stourport on Saturday, if I get back in time I'll pop along.

That's a geniune GT500 and belongs to a chap called Andy.

I sold my 72 convertible and bought a 69 Mach 1. There's another chap in Shiplake with a 68 coupe called Mark.

Here's our cars outside the Baskerville:

Great pictures, Mark, but would be even better with my '71 Mach 1 there as well.

Hi Si, give us a shout next time you're around.

Here's another Mustang at the Bask from a few months back:

The Wife and I had a nice lunch at the Bask today.

We took my cars along:
