Ford's ultra successful first generation Mustang came in for one
final revision which lasted for the three years between 1971 and
1973. Although it shared many of the styling cues of the original. br/>every dimension was bigger - the car was longer. wider and heavier
in keeping with industry trends. Built on a 109" wheelbase. the
1971-1973 Mustangs remained true to the original formula in many
ways. continuing to offer a myriad of engines. transmissions and
trim options. Three different body styles were available ranging
from the coupé and fastback to the Convertible although demand for
ragtops was in serious decline and 1973 would be the final year of
the open-topped Mustang for several seasons.

On offer is this exceedingly rare right-hand drive 1971 Mustang
convertible. built in Dearborn. Michigan for the Managing Director
of Ford UK and registered to him in February 1971. The consensus of
opinion with Mustang experts and American car specialists who have
worked on this car is that it could have been built as an appraisal
unit to test and to show to Ford customers the option of right-hand
drive. These test cars were built by most of the American
manufacturers but then destroyed; it is known that a few cars did
survive and this could be one of them.

The second owner kept the car for twenty-one years with the
registration number EMM 4J before selling it in 1992 to a Mr.
Turner of Cornwall. The car was then sold to Mr. England in
Aberdeen who set about a complete restoration and an engine rebuild
in 1997. The next recorded owner is in 2004. a Mr. Clark from
Colchester who. while in his ownership. kept the car fully
maintained by American Specialists. Tom Newman. He sold the car in
2010. This excellent example is finished in dark blue with black
interior and is supplied with a V5C registration document. an MoT
test certificate which expires on 1st September 2016. a file
containing photographs of the 1990's restoration. invoices from
1994 to 2007 and a number of old MoT test certificates and old tax
discs. A rare and fun early 1970s right hand drive model.
