Now could be the time to ignite your youth again as the new owner of this racy red example, The last owner, an specialist American mechanic liberally invested in excess of £3,000 and untold hours of labour and love in bringing the car up to its current excellent standard since importing it from the US in 2010.  Solid, straight and rust-free, this Mustang comes with the ever-popular 289 cubic inch (4.7-litre) V8 and trusty C4 automatic gearbox.
