2018 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT Fastback

We are delighted to be offering for sale a one owner V8 Mustang Coupe, registered in June 2018. Our seller purchased the car with the intention of using it for road rallies in Europe, something of a passion of his.

He did indeed enjoy one fabulous foray overseas but once Covid struck, his travel plans were put on hold and the car little used.

The loss of his dry storage facility has undoubtedly been a factor in his decision to offer the Mustang for sale, the car being in such fabulous condition, that to leave it exposed to the elements would be a crime.

Regularly serviced and showing just 6,150 miles on the odometer, this splendid car wants for nothing bar a new owner with a need for speed. Buy now before cars like this are confined to the history books.

The Mustang is not for the shy and retiring, the sights and sounds of one passing by will certainly draw admiring glances. Best then to choose a bright colour and our seller selected ‘Race Red’. It certainly shows off those graceful fastback lines to good effect.

Cossetted in a dry facility when not in use, the paintwork is in exceptional condition. Come and take a look at it yourself if you don’t believe us!

Snazzy alloy wheels complete the look, and all are in good order bar one (see pic 027) which has a light graze. The original premium Pirelli tyres still boast ample tread and should be good for very many more miles.

As new – we could probably end our description there. Black leather covers the seats and space up front is plentiful. Electric adjustment ensures the perfect driving position. Dual zone climate controlled air conditioning is fitted and there are powerful heated seats for those colder days.

The rear perches are best reserved for children or adults of diminutive stature. Most will use as additional storage we guess.

A large touchscreen is fitted which gives access to the sound system, satellite navigation and suchlike. It is all very straightforward to use.

The leather-clad steering wheel, with the prancing horse fitted to the central boss, is a delight to hold and close to hand is the manual gear lever, controlling as it does the slick six-speed box. With a light clutch, changing gear is always a pleasure, never a chore.

Cruise control is fitted, ideal for those long and tedious motorway drives and there is a full complement of safety kit, should the worst happen.

Boot space is a very usable 400 litres or thereabouts.

In addition the vendor states "the mustang has a front and rear facing dash cam professionally fitted and there is a tailor made soft car cover in the boot".

We always include pictures of a car’s undersides and that is the case here. Other than some expected road dirt, it all looks pretty shipshape to us, bar a small area of corrosion (see pic 270) which we would be inclined to deal with straight away.

Lift the bonnet and that magnificent 450PS V8 motor hoves into view. Clean, tidy and with all the signs of careful maintenance we know this car has had. It is barely run in.

We are told it drives as well as it did on the day our seller took delivery and we have no reason to doubt that. Powerful, exciting, fast, and fun, need we say more.

We would mention that servicing is affordable, road tax just £165 per year and 25mpg achievable if you drive sensibly.

Owned by our conscientious seller from new, the Mustang comes with a complete Ford Service history. Annual/10,000 miles services have been done as follows:

· June 2018 – PDI at 10 miles

· June 2019 – Service at 751 miles

· June 2020 – Service at 4014 miles

· June 2021 - Service at 4182 miles

· June 2022 – Service at 5670 miles

Two advisory free MoTs have been carried out, the current certificate being valid until 16th June 2023.

Our seller reports the car has been completely trouble free, though doing our photography session, we did notice one of the headlights was not working.

We are great fans of the Ford Mustang, especially these late models. They are a usable and exciting performance car, guaranteed to excite, no matter how humdrum the drive. The V8 soundtrack is one to stir the soul of the committed petrolhead and manual gears complete the raw driving experience.

Running costs are modest, the car being easily serviced by any Ford main dealer or competent garage.

At nearly five years old, this Mustang has seen little action, yet! Maybe you will be the lucky one to put some proper miles on this exciting car.

We expect a sale price of between £30,000 and £40,000, oh and a lot of interest.
