A wonderfully distinctive example of Ford’s American personal luxury coupé, this 1989 Ford Thunderbird LX combines unmistakable late-1980s styling with an unusually comprehensive history file and low recorded mileage.

Finished in an attractive deep metallic red, the Thunderbird retains the elegant, aerodynamic profile that characterised Ford’s tenth-generation model. The cabin is equally evocative of the period, with comfortable cloth seating, extensive wood-effect trim, automatic transmission, cruise control and electric seat adjustment.

Under the bonnet sits Ford’s 3.8-litre V6 engine, providing the relaxed and effortless character for which these large American coupés are known.

Of particular interest is the accompanying documentation. The original Ford Certificate of Origin confirms the car as a 1989 Thunderbird LX two-door, equipped with the six-cylinder engine, and records its original supplying dealer as Don Reid Ford Inc. of Maitland, Florida. The history file also contains American title documentation showing its subsequent transfer to an owner in Essex, England.

Remarkably, the original Ford maintenance schedule and record log remains with the car, together with its Ownercard/Warranty Identification Card and associated period documentation. The service booklet records maintenance at 4,998, 9,940, 15,800, 20,500, 28,000, 33,000 and 40,300 miles, providing useful supporting evidence for the car’s history.

Now displaying 58,951 miles, the Thunderbird is accompanied by an MOT valid until July 2027. Its combination of American provenance, original documentation and relatively modest recorded mileage makes it a particularly interesting survivor from an era when cars such as this were an uncommon sight on British roads.
