The Appeal

There aren’t many vehicles with the iconic nature of Ford’s legendary pony car. With its bold aesthetics, big chunky V8 powerplants and distinctly rebellious nature, they’re distinctly brash, distinctly powerful and - of course - distinctly American.

This example was imported to the UK in 2019 from Colorado, and what an example it is - highly original, in a stylish and rare colour scheme. The vendor highlights that out of all of the Mustangs he’s owned, this one is a particularly excellent driver.
