Looking to rent a specific car

Wizard! · 15-01-2019 9:22pm #1

Hi all..

I am looking to rent for a couple of days (or even hours) a Ford Mustang GT, or similar (american muscle car,) or (last resort) a Jaguar.

My wife loves them, and I want to make her a surprise.

Avis, Hertz and Budget, have advertised Ford Mustang GT in the past, but can't seem to find availability online. I even tried other companies too, and rental aggregators. No luck.

I can settle with even a "track lap" if there is an option.

Any ideas?

Go to the US. No problem renting Mustangs over there.

There's a company that puts owners together with clients, not strictly legal in Ireland unless the driver has an SPSV license etc. but might be worth a try if she's so set on one. The photos of the Mustang would seem to hint at track days, crash helmets etc.

You could try talking to Byrne & Maguire, the Ford Main Dealer in Dundalk.
The owner drives a red Mustang - maybe they could do a deal where you get a "Courtesy car" when you're having work done!

Another one that puts owners to clients together, no idea on if you can drive them or not.

They cover Ireland and have a Mustang down as €600+, might be worth a ring see if it is available in Ireland

BTW

Assuming you are in Ireland?

I contacted them too last week, they supposedly have it for a test drive. Never replied.

Norwegian Air flight. Might be the cheapest option.

Planes can be tricky to drive though.
