Welcome to Pilgrim V8 (formally known as Muscle Car UK)

Muscle Car UK is the UK’s largest classic Ford Mustang dealership. Musclecar.uk is a trading name brought to you by Pilgrim Motorsports, based in Henfield, West Sussex. Trading for over thirty-three years and boasting over forty years of experience in classic car manufacturing, restoration and servicing, we have established ourselves as the leading classic car dealer in the UK. We pride ourselves on our reputation, trust, reliability and customer satisfaction.

Our ‘man on the ground’ and company director Adrian, based in Phoenix Arizona, USA, sources and inspects the very best all-American classic muscle cars and Ford Mustangs available for sale in the US market, then brings those beauties home.

Our twelve-car garage facility in the US provides a secure holding for all our classic Mustangs prior to shipping. We round up the Mustangs on a monthly basis and transport them to Long Beach, California for container onboarding and shipment across the pond to our classic car garage the UK.

Our approach to buying classic muscle and pony cars is to take our time and cherry-pick the best of the best. This ensures that all our buying knowledge is passed on to you, removing risk out of the buying process and avoiding expensive pitfalls.

Finding high-quality classic Ford Mustangs is not easy. We’ve notched up a few miles, to say the least, searching high and low to ensure each car is rust-free, with great mechanics and an interior to match. We secure only the very best genuine American muscle cars; our customers love what we do.

We buy genuine dry-state cars directly from the last owner and exclude any vehicles that have been subject to a serious accident, damage or corrosion. Besides our stringent buying criteria, very few companies offer the trusted backup of a fully-equipped Mustang specialist workshop and paint shop with fully trained and qualified technicians on hand to maintain your classic car.

Our factory produces the renowned Pilgrim replicas of the iconic 427 AC Cobra alongside the Pilgrim Speedster. Built from scratch, these iconic sports cars are fully assembled by hand, using parts made entirely in our own facility.
