1966 Ford Mustang | Bowerhill, Wiltshire

A 1966 Ford Mustang, the car that set the pony-car pattern with a long bonnet, a short rear deck and engines from a straight-six up to V8s. It is known and liked for bringing a sporty American look within reach of ordinary drivers. This car is a tribute to the Shelby GT350H, the Hertz edition, finished in Black with a black interior and in very good condition. Under the bonnet sits a 5.0-litre V8 of 302 cubic inches, which gives a low note when idling. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, the front passenger steps out into the road, and the car carries a distinctly American look on screen. Black paint gives strong contrast against a bright location, which suits 1960s-set film and television, music videos, and fashion and editorial shoots. Advertising, photography and events also gain from the long-bonnet profile, which reads clearly in a frame. For a wedding or personal hire, it offers a darker, more dramatic choice. The car is based in Bowerhill, Wiltshire.
