1968 Ford Mustang | Taunton, Somerset

This is a 1968 Ford Mustang, the model that created the pony-car idea in 1964 with a long bonnet, a short rear deck and engines from six-cylinder to V8. It is liked for proportions that still read at once as 1960s America. This car is Blue with a black interior, a dark, uncluttered pairing that sits well against most backdrops. It has a 4.7-litre engine and seats four. It is left-hand drive, which gives it a continental, American look: the driver sits on the kerb side and the front passenger steps out on the road side. Film and TV, music video and advertising work set in the 1960s or 1970s gain period shape that reads quickly on screen. Photography and fashion shoots get a clean blue body with a black cabin behind it. Weddings and personal hires suit it too. The car is based in Taunton, Somerset.
