The European Ford Mustang
Back in 2015, Ford released the first Mustang to be sold out of the USA since 1979. The iconic American muscle car has been envied worldwide for decades, with loads of our favourite movie stars driving Mustangs, including action films such as Gone in 60 Seconds, and even The Princess Diaries (read below to see some of our favourites). For the first time ever, it has been offered in right-hand drive so we can grace our European roads with the American beast.
The sleek and stylish machine comes in both Fastback and Convertible forms with a 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine or a powerful 5.0-litre V8 GT engine. In manual or automatic, it retains the popular characteristics of the original with a modern twist.
The new Ford Mustang is defined by its tough, sporty stance, making it slightly bigger than other European sports cars. Get yours from TC Harrison for sleek style and almighty power.

1. Bullitt
A true icon, the Mustang GT from Bullitt helped shape the car chase of modern cinema. The souped up 1968 Mustang had signature styling, in Highland Green, and helped to win the Oscar for film editing that year. The car chase from Bullitt is still one of the most famous movie car chases to this day and is, of course, one of our favourites.
Read all about the new Ford Mustang Bullitt Edition that was announced at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show here. The 2019 Mustang Edition has been designed to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the iconic Steve McQueen film.
