How many

[mfp4073]

Hello guys,

My brother has just bought a lovely red 2004 Mach 1. I have the factory production numbers but has anybody any idea as to how many are likely to be in the UK.

Thanks, John

there's at least 1 (yellow) Mach 1 in the UK (pic/article: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-fo... ) but they are very rare over here (I was looking at buying one about 3 years ago but went a different route ). MOCBG may be able to help with that a little?

Thank you.
There was silver car for sale that my brother just missed out on, so that makes at least three in the Uk.
Realistically there might be a handful more? So a rare car indeed!

probably just as well he missed out on the silver (unless it was the DSG) as it's not a colour option

Thanks again.
I would imagine at least half of those will be gone by now.
After the winter has been and gone my brother will get the car back on the road and give it a full service.
The car is in great condition other than the faded paint on the front and rear bumpers, but it’s only got 14K on the clock, so a sympathetic restoration should sort everything out.
Even I’m excited about driving it

My mistake the silver car was indeed dark shadow grey.

I’ll see if I can get some pictures of the car after Christmas as my brother is working off shore at the moment.

Yes indeed it is Neil’s car.
He can’t wait to get back home to do some work on it, mind you his wife has instructed him to keep the budget to a minimum
