Over 1,000 UK customers have now received their new right-hand-drive Ford Mustang.
The Mustang is being exclusively displayed and sold by the brand’s new FordStores, located in major conurbations and selling the Blue Oval’s full car and van ranges and upmarket Vignale sub brand.
The Mustang was introduced in the US in 1964 but is now being made in right hand drive for the first time.
The car is being manufactured at Flatrock Assembly Plant in Michigan, North America.
So far, 80% of UK customers have opted for the fastback body style over the convertible and 68% have specified the 416PS 5.0-litre V8 engine.
Mustang’s six-speed manual transmission is the slightly more popular choice (54 per cent) over the six-speed automatic, which comes with sporty SelectShift paddle control.
Race Red is the most-popular exterior colour among UK buyers, specified on 20 per cent of Mustang orders.
The right-hand drive Mustang is available to order in the UK from £30,995 (EcoBoost) and £34,995 (V8) and now features SYNC 3 8in colour touchscreen with nine-speaker DAB radio, USB & Bluetooth connectivity as standard.
