IT'S HERE! My Shelby GT500 Finally ARRIVES in the UK
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
At long last, my Shelby GT500 has arrived in the UK! Having bought the American Shmeemobile last year, it was always the plan to import it to join the rest of my collection at @TheShmuseum and very spontaneously, the time has finally come to open up the container on British land!
After the Gumball 3000 finish in Miami, my car was dropped off to commence the sailing across the Atlantic with the help of My Car Import. While delays, strikes and all sorts have pushed it back, the day has now come to open up the metal box and see it for the first time over this side of the pond. Still complete with the Gumball sticker livery over the top of the Grabber Lime paint, it will stay like this for a short while during which it goes through the process for UK IVA and registration.
A few changes are needed for the headlights, taillights, fog light, and more, which is exactly where My Car Import step in to manage the process exactly as they did with my SLS AMG Black Series 2 and a half years ago. It will take around 2 weeks to get through the test, and then another couple of weeks to be completely registered and available to drive back home for the first time. That will time very nicely with the end of my US tour with the AMG GT Black Series, when I'm back home following that adventure.
The shipping route has been filled with ups and downs, although the call came out of the blue that it had arrived, hence the spontaneous change of plans to drop everything, grab my Focus RS Heritage Edition, and get there in time for the container unloading.

The Zenvo was a great series. But, I’m honestly more excited with the GT500 has finally arrived. I can’t wait for the GT500 to hit the Nurburgring. Maybe Tim will allow Misha a lap with the GT500. The broken carbon wheel, Tim you could convert it into a coffee table.

Zenvo is obviously awesome by can't see it doing loads of miles and hence videos... kinda like the Senna! GT500 is an awesome car that I'd expect to see a lot on the channel!

Keep the Gumball stickers Tim. So many memories attached (pun intended)! The next American Shmeemobile? How about a C8 Z06 right hand drive? Paul Wallace said his short stint with a right hand drive C8 attracted so much attention in the UK!
Nice to see the gt500 again you bring joy to my day shmee

Total Performance tour of Europe ! Ford GT, Shelby GT500, Focus Heritage Edition RS. It'll be awesome to see Misha wheel the GT500 at the Nurburgring. And also to see Puppi do some donuts in it. Awesome stuff and congratulations of the award for the Merc. Well deserved. And a great show, big up to Petrol hedonism for a killer show. On the level of Goodwood!
You've got the holy quadrilogy of fords, the Focus RS, the GT, the Mustang and of course, the most iconic ford of all time. The mighty Transit.
Been waiting to see this car arrive in England. Very excited to see this beast unloaded. It will be great to see this car in your garage with the other cars.

You and me both!
glad to see it in the UK! First Shmeemobile that I got to see a while back in Miami. It was a pleasure to meet you Tim! An absolute legend!
I only have a standard 5.0 GT Tim but am dead chuffed to see another Mustang over this side of the pond. Welcome GT500
I’m finally taking the plunge on my poster car, blue 2004 Mach1, and I thank you for pushing me to do so. You enjoy your cars and you only live once. I’m picking it up in a couple of days. Thanks, Tim.
Can't wait to get behind the wheel of this beast! 💚

I was thinking this might be your new favorite vehicle in the collection.
Great to see it's landed on UK shores, looking forward to the customary trip to Germany and a potential lap with Mischa which I'm guessing will be in the new year after the winter break.
Let’s goooooo! So cool seeing the processes on all this! Thank you so much for sharing the experiences and the behind the scenes makes it so cool to know what actually goes into caring for a collection this immense! Hope to see you when you stop in Texas during your USA tour
Ouch the petrol stations over here are going to be quite the shock.
I can't wait to see the GT500 assert it's dominance in the shmuseum 🔥
I must say, your reaction to this car arriving is very emotional. I enjoy seeing someone have a connection with their car
That Aston Martin Vanquish in the back though but great to see the Mustang finally touching down on the British soil 🙂👍
What a car. Easily my favourite one you have. Enjoy!!
Now the Ford corner in the Shmuseum is complete ! 🙌 Exciting adventures ahead, congrats Tim !

Tim's mentioned potentially looking at getting the new F-150 Raptor R. That would definitely complete the collection.
Matching electrical power extension lead at the end! 😂 Will be a great addition to the Shmuseum!
Looks so good in the with the rest of the cars! Going to be a great continent crusher on road trips accross Europe. What an awesome collection Tim 👍thankyou for all your hard work!!
I look at this dude and i see the emotion inside his car and i realize how much of a petrol head this dude is, this dude is impeccable!
So happy to see this beautiful Green Machine back on the channel, it is my all-time favourite out of all of the Shmeemobiles on the channel.
Good to see it in the UK, hopefully I get to see it person also soon enough
This car in England is a real head turner. Good show, Tim!
I cant wait for further videos with it! It is a looker for sure with that grabber lime paint. Greetings from Scotland^^
Amber bulb (even LEDs) behind red lens does not work. It still looks red. You'll have to go with the OEM clear lens (which is actually an extra cost option for the US Mustangs). Or find an aftermarket product that has that end lens in amber.
It's pretty cool Tim made the trouble to homologate the car and now has the only GT500 in the UK. Ford will probably never sell it there and I doubt many others will go through the trouble to homologate it.
That heritage focus tho👌 absolute stunner and doesn't look out of place sitting in the company it keeps on the ramps 😎
I was lucky enough to be there at the start of the rally in Toronto it is my favourite memory of the year
Congrats, Shmee!
I really enjoyed the Gumball content and weirdly looking at your car brought memory's back for me. An epic car it really is and look forward to 'hopefully' watching another Gumball.
Well the coolest part of my day was finding out it was one of my lorry drivers 🤣😀who delivered it so cool to be part of that journey
Congrats Shmee! I always love your videos because you nerd out on the same weird stuff I would haha. I fantasize about bringing my Audi back to its home in Europe! The idea of driving the same car on multiple continents is just really really cool!
So pleased for you Tim. Really looking forward to seeing it out and about in the UK.
This actually explains all the "euro style" clear taillights sold in the US. I never knew the actual reason why they were clear. Had some on my S10 20 years ago 😂
Time for a Corvette Z06 ! On your next visit
Congrats on the Shmelby 500!

Finally! For me , this is up there with the AMG cars in the collection, not the overly fancy Italian stuff.
I love that you drive the Heritage Focus and not just leave it to sit and collect dust. Such a great car. Looking forward to seeing the GT 500 in the uk.
13:23 theese wheels loud make a sick cofee tables
Should make those wheels into light fixtures for either the schmuseam or the office
Remember... you've got to let Tony and Sam have a go in it when it gets fully registered. I want to see Tony's reaction.
I like that apple green color. Good choice. Goes well with your car collections. Cheers!
finally! I was actually smiling through the video out of shared joy! congratz, Shmee!
@shmee150 I love the Gumball livery. I’d love to see it stay. I’m hoping that after the car is registered, you might consider returning the car back to the standard exhaust. The sound is one of the funnest things to watch over KZread
Congrats Shmee.. A very nice car indeed.. thank you so much for sharing very much appreciated.. Drive in Beauty and Gratitude…
So happy for you that it's finally here, would love to hear that exhaust in person
Awesome to see your enthusiasm for American Muscle. Cool to see the Focus back on the channel. The red Focus was sweet with the carbon bits you had installed. Looking forward to Ring content with the GT 500.
Hey Shmee, can we get a reactions video, (similar to when you went to Miami in the Ford GT) of people's reactions to that car in the UK?
You must be glad to have the Shmelby home finally! 😎👍
This Beast needs to be Unleashed in the Highlands. I'd recommend the Dava road (B9007) from Carrbridge. Incredible to drive.
So happy for you Shmee. Its an awesome car and one that will turn heads where ever you go. Enjoy. Cheers!
That car is sooo rowdy for UK 😁it's gonna be fun watching the reactions

Grabber Green with envy!! What wonderful car. So glad its home!
Fantastic to see the gorgeous GT500 in the UK! Love the exhaust sound! Looking forward to seeing it in the Schmuseum 🔥😍
Great video..👍🏻 Never seems it’s shipped in a container- Great car collection to say the least. Congrats (Upstate NY’er)
Shmee: Let’s go in one of the fast fords (refers to the heritage RS) Meanwhile the GT sobs in the background
Really nice to see that this dream of Tim comes true! I'm hoping to see this car at Motorworld Stuttgart really soon 🔥😉
Welcome home! I've missed this one. Out of all your gorgeous cars, it's the one I'd love to own.
Love how my car import matched the extension lead to the grabber lime
pls leave the stickers on as long as possible, they tell such nice storys!!
just an idea for the rims. just fix a nice piece of glace on the top and you have a suoer nice coffee table for the lounge in the shmeemuseum
Even for me it's a feeling i can't describe. Congrats on the arrival!
Very happy for you Tim. Can't wait to see you race around in it in Europe!
This is a very exciting thing! Welcome home to the GT 500! Maybe consider getting a classic mustang at some point for you, brad and tom to work on
I'm about to hit 10k on mine and I have to say there is nothing around its price range that compares. It is absolutely one of the best sports cars around.

Been waiting for this vlog since you shipped it over. Been a long time coming. Congratulations on getting over.
That’s really cool that GT500 is in the UK
Seeing the stickers brings back all the memories from the event. AWESOME!!!!
Those sequential taillights first appeared on I believe, the 1965 Ford Thunderbird and a couple of years later on the Mercury Cougar.
Hopefully I can see this car one day! Glad it's finally arrived
You have a focus RS too!! Man you got the best cars!
The GT500, GT8 & SLS V8 sound off video is going to be epic. A brutal V8 symphony that shall be. 🙂
Need to show this off in London someday, would love to see it! Many congrats!
Ahhh brilliant glad it's finally turned up safe and well result .
My fav shmeemobile! Would love to see a 68 mustang next to it in your garage one day!
Nice to see it. It’s not weird to have a left hand drive when you have another 2 at the garage lol
Congratulations 👏. Did you notice the colours on the 3 fords are like a set of traffic lights 🚦!
Unexpected, but it's amazing. Congratulations for the Mustang Shelby GT500 is came to UK.
This thing in the UK is going to be epic. I don’t think there are many on the road there so be ready for all the smiles it brings!

Shmee150 Awesome Video I'm so glad your Shelby GT500 CFTP made it to the UK safely and I can't wait to see it with the Rest of the Shmeemobiles and I think a Hellcat or Redeye should be your next American Shmeemobile
I love the gum all 3000 stickers all over it looks so good.
You need a sound suppressor on the RS to stop that whistling, just fitted mine with one….. nice n quiet now
Congratulations Tim! The Beast will be unleashed on the Shmuseum!
Good to see the green stallion safe in UK, weather not so good right now in Florida
So hyped to see my favourite Shmeemobile again😊
I hope you go for some nice round hellas center mounted on that bumper..
Congrats Tim, would you consider to leave the Gumball stickers on? They fit the character of the car so well! And I honestly would love to see Misha's face at the Nürburgring.
Misha tested a Mustang on the Ring, and cant wait to have a go in yours, Shmee.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, This is great news. I’ve been following this car since you bought in the US. Can’t wait to see it back in the UK!
My favourite Shmeemobile for sure Buzzing for you tim👍🏻🖖
For thr tail lights you can get one on line for cheaper that is direct connect, if you get one in Europe you have issue with wiring.
Shmee you should remove the ppf completely with all the decals on it then put the whole thing in a frame… That would be a great addition for the shmuseum
