The Appeal

A Ford Mustang convertible is the quintessential American muscle car, combining open-top thrills with V8 power in a package that defined a generation.

This 1972 example stands out from the crowd with its distinctive red exterior and red/white interior combination, making it a unique proposition among the more commonly seen colour schemes.

Having been in European ownership for three decades with restoration work completed during this time, this Mustang convertible offers classic American motoring with the added benefit of French Carte Grise de Collection status.
