THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP

Ford took its sweet time about it, but – in 2015 – after 50 years of waiting, the mighty Mustang finally, officially made it to these shores. For fans of the original Pony Car, it meant no more having to source decent classic Mustangs in the States and then importing them over here at great expense; instead, now you could walk into a Ford dealership and order your own righth-and-drive version.

Originally sold here with both a 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine and also a 5.0-litre V8, the sixth-generation Mustang comes in either Fastback or Convertible body styles, and with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. It has so far gone down well with UK buyers, despite a disastrous two-star Euro NCAP safety showing in 2017
