Any runours of a RHD for UK etc?

I ask this question because i am thinking of importing the new Mustang (GT of course) in 2006 but would obviously prefer a RHD (I live in Ireland). I have a LHD 1968 GT fastback which i love and will keep but if i had a choice over a new LHD or RHD, i'd take the RHD.

Also, if the mustang makes it to europe do you guys think it will retain the 5.0 V8 or will it have something like a 3.5 V6 or something, which would make more sense for european roads and pertol prices?

So, any runours or thoughts on this subject?

I've already looked into importing the car into Ireland and its relatively straight forward. i pay my $24,000 for the car and then give the Irish government another $12,000 in taxes.

The shipping cost is around $2,000, so all in it'll cost me $38,000, which is around 31,000 euros.

Thats actually not bad when you consider a brand new Audi A3 costs 32,000 euros in Ireland! Go figure that **** out.

Apparently there is huge demand for it in the UK (according to a leading importer, american car imports) and he quoted me £27,000 which is $49,000 (40,000 euros) and he has a list of buyers as long as your arm.

The suggestion to buy a 6 month old one and save on taxes is good but as you dont pay VAT on a new car in the states, or on second hand ones i think, i'm not sure if you would have to still pay VAT when it arrives in Ireland. Any excuse to get tax from you and they'll use it. Good idea though.

Bottom line is i wont do this until 2006, at which stage the actual retail price of the car will be apparent and i'll be able to get a proper quote for importing.
