Highlights

Recently recommissioned after a period of dry storage

The Appeal

With its V8 rumble and open-top cruising, the Ford Mustang convertible remains one of the most iconic American classics on the road. US-sourced examples are especially sought after, having spent their lives in a warm, dry climate that keeps rust at bay.

This particular Mustang was imported from the USA in 2007 and is now registered on UK plates. After a period of dry storage, it has reportedly been recommissioned, with the seller stating it starts first go and drives well. For those seeking a usable, V8-powered classic convertible with honest provenance, this Mustang warrants a closer look.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
