1966 Ford Mustang | Fareham, Hampshire

A 1966 Ford Mustang, the car that set the pony-car pattern of a long bonnet, short rear deck and compact body. It made its debut at the 1964 World's Fair and has been liked ever since for its easy style and a wide choice of engines, V8s among them. This one is red with a black interior, a bold pairing that lets the long-bonnet profile carry the frame. Its 5.0-litre engine suits the model's muscular reputation, and it seats four. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side, and the car has an American look in shot. That look suits advertising, music video, photography and fashion shoots, where the colour and proportions do the work, and film and TV productions set in 1960s America. At events, a long red bonnet gives guests a clear focal point. For a wedding or personal hire, red over black makes a confident arrival. The car is based in Fareham, Surrey.
