The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
2016 Ford Mustang
Expertly modified and enhanced to a very high standard at a cost of some £20,000, including full carbon fibre bonnet and rear spoiler
Registration - NR57 ANG
Chassis No. - 1FA6P8CF1G5305692
M.O.T. - 12 Months
Odometer - 24,000
Any Ford Mustang is desirable, but this 2016 5.0-litre V8 GT is particularly special, thanks to a series of expert modifications that further enhance the world’s best-selling sports car. The vendor reports they have owned it for the past two years and ‘NR57 ANG’ has been enhanced to a very high standard. Improvements include a full carbon fibre bonnet and rear spoiler – and the expensively-crafted carbon fibre is exposed beneath a clear coat layer, for maximum visual contrast with the red paint. It also has an upgraded bumper and side skirts, which benefit from a repaint to a high standard. Visually, this Mustang GT V8 looks fantastic, with the tastefully purposeful modifications helping make it a real head-turner.
The modifications are not simply visual, either. This UK-supplied right-hand drive Mustang, which has an odometer reading 24,000 miles, also has upgraded suspension torsion bars, while the regular bushes have been replaced with fine-tuned poly bushes, and the rear subframe has had modifications to stiffen it, something that Mustang experts say helps sharpen and transform the handling. Black 19-inch alloy wheels with premium Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres help make the most of these worthwhile suspension improvements.
Even the glorious 5.0-litre engine has been enhanced. Tuning parts from noted Mustang specialist Steeda, in combination with an upgraded exhaust that cost in excess of £3,000, help it now deliver more than 500bhp via the choice six-speed manual gearbox, for performance that is now a match for a Porsche. The vendor says that, in total, the upgrade work cost around £20,000, creating one of the UK’s most well-honed modern Ford Mustang GTs. As is clear from the images, the vendor says it is in ‘excellent’ condition throughout, and its new owner will enjoy a full 12 month’s MOT – along with the highly desirable ‘NR57 ANG’ registration plate that is the crowning glory of this thrilling sports car.
The original Ford Mustang was introduced in 1964 and it has remained in continuous production in America ever since – indeed, it holds the record as the longest-produced Ford. Sold across multiple generations, Brits were denied a right-hand drive Mustang for decades: our equivalent was the Ford Capri. But in 2015, with the launch of the sixth-generation Mustang (known as the S550), right-hand drive became available for the first time. ‘Pony car’ fans could take either a 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbo or, as most rightly did, the thrilling 5.0-litre V8. The car quickly developed a cult following here in the UK, with many of American’s expert modification brands such as Steeda tapping into this enthusiasm. Nowadays, the Ford Mustang is firmly established in the UK as a very fine fast Ford indeed.
In summary:
- Expertly-modified 2016 Ford Mustang GT 5.0-litre V8
- Tasteful upgrade package cost around £20,000
- Low-mileage model described as being in ‘excellent’ condition throughout
