Ford F-150 Raptor Available Now As RHD In The UK

Fans of the latest Ford F-150 Raptor and Lincoln Navigator in the UK can now make their dream a reality, as specialist car dealer Clive Sutton announced their availability.

More importantly those after a Raptor can now get one with the steering wheel on the right side, thanks to Sutton Bespoke’s customization programme.

The conversion uses precision-sculpted moldings of interior parts, with specialists using “a blend of both traditional and modern techniques” in order to mirror the dashboard and steering assembly.

The team developed their own right-hand drive steering rack for the Raptor in six months, with the unit being an upgraded version of the standard F-150 pickup truck that’s extensively recalibrated.

Pricing for a brand new and converted to RHD Ford F-150 Raptor is set at £106,800 (around $150,300 in current exchange rates), with Sutton also offering the conversion to existing Raptor owners for the price of £38,400 ($54,000).

The other new arrival in Clive Sutton’s stock list is the brand new 2018 Lincoln Navigator. Finished in Black Velvet over a Cappuccino leather interior, the American seven-seater SUV is powered by the 450hp 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. It also comes with a long specs list, including 24-way adjustable, multi-contour heated and ventilated front seats, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and a 20-speaker 1,200-watt sound system.

The asking price for the LHD Lincoln Navigator is £114,950 (around $162,000), with Clive Sutton saying that they’re currently developing a right-hand drive conversion for it as well. The dealer is offering the full range of the new Navigator in the UK, including both standard- and the long-wheelbase models, with prices starting from around £89,000 ($125,000).

Clive Sutton is also the appointed UK distributor for Shelby American’s range of models, including the F-150 Super Snake. These models are being built for Shelby at the Magna Steyr factory in Austria, with the first EU-produced Shelby truck to be delivered in the UK next month.
