Is there a clip of him driving it?
A Mustang with no tints looks wierd. The dark tints make the car look good.More macho image.

How did one of you guys manage to spot SAif with his Mustang.?? Mumbai boys just drive around all day ??

Next time take a video. I really want to know if these guys actually know how to drive.

sorry my phone doesnt support video recording
the car is parked outside Salmans house now, so I am sure the bollywood boys will have a take on it around bandstand all night long. If only Salman get his e39 m5 out againts it,that would be fun to watch

MAN!!! how did they import one in India is the BIG question. A car like this would flout all import regulations.

Is there still a way to get these cars to India??

They are imported as commercial vehicle (TAXIs)

Saif Ali Khan has a passion for cars. The actor already owns a black Audi has added a brand new car to his collection. He had been lusting for a Ford Mustang which he finally got a chance to buy this weekend.

Whatever gave you this idea that its imported as a Commercial Vehicle(Taxi)?
Its only imported under OGL, which any individual can do.

You can import any car you want as long as it is a right hand drive and the engine is 3000 cc and above. It can be a maximum of 3 years old only if its a used car.

The article says that the car costs in the range of 3 crores, which is just blown out of proportion. But since the news is public, now can we have the real price of it please. Off course if the importers don't mind

If I had to make a guess, I'd say, with a load of excessive costs, etc...in the region of 50-55 lakhs.
