Believe it was listed on "Collecting Cars" twice a while ago but didn't make the reserve,Seems a lot of car for the money
The current seller advertised the car soon after the auction so would assume he either
bought the car after the auction finished or direct from the owner,
Been around for sale for quite some time now,
With the appropriate supporting chassis and suspension mods, they handle the power just fine.. albeit at this time of year it’ll spin up 4th gear without too much trouble!
I’m considering going up to 325 section PS4s rear tyres on my next rotation just to make it a little less hectic…

My thread has details on my specific mods…
Looks like the car in question has most if not all the appropriate upgrades already in place..
Are you on standard brakes, had a standard one back in 2020 but cant remember if the brakes would be up to the job.Stiffer ARBs

I was very interested in this car. I messaged the selling garage, they replied that they sold this car only a few weeks ago for £39950 but the owner has now been offered a promotion in the USA so he wants it selling quickly so is prepared to take a 7k hit for a few weeks ownership. It might be just me but that sounds just a tad fishy. When i asked for more car details they didn't know as the owner has the pack,yet they only sold a few weeks before.I'm guessing as they are selling on behalf of an owner there will be no warranty if there are any issues
I also managed to track down the original owner of the car who fitted the supercharger and various other parts. He sold to a dealer in June 2023 ,it then sold again on Collecting cars for around 32k in Dec 2023 to Muscle Car UK ( current sellers) and sat on their forecourt from Jan 2024 till when it sold end of October 2024 .
It is way cheaper than any other super charged Mustang available so alarm bells rang out to me, real shame as it looks a stunning car with a great spec.

There's a few cheap supercharged cars around at the moment. Having one myself and knowing how much money and effort goes into it - not just the Supercharger, but all of the required supporting modifications - I'd be very suspicious of anything below mid-thirties. They're the cars people are in a rush to get rid of, and likely don't have the right mods for running the power safely and reliably.
You need to make sure the weak points between the engine and tyres are all upgraded (e.g. clutch, half-shafts, diff), have the right stopping power and chassis/suspension to handle the power, and have done the right bits to the engine to handle it (OPG, CS, Oil Cooler).
If you've spent >£10k on the supercharger, then likely another £5k on that, would you really sell it for just £1-2k more than an N/A car...
