Ford has received almost 2,000 orders for the Mustang in the UK since January as the first right-hand drive models begin production. The Mustang was introduced over 50 years ago in the US but has never been available with right-hand drive until now. The majority of UK customers have opted for the fastback body style and V8 engine, with deliveries expected to begin in November to meet unexpectedly high demand.

15/099 For immediate release
FIRST UK DELIVERIES IN SIGHT AS FORD MUSTANG
ORDERS ACCELERATE TOWARDS 2,000
BRENTWOOD, Essex, UK, August 24, 2015 – Almost 2,000 Ford Mustang orders
have been taken in the UK since January as the first right-hand drive cars begin to
roll off the production line at Flatrock Assembly Plant in Michigan, North America.
The Ford Mustang – introduced in the U.S. more than 50 years ago – has excited
fans across the globe, but has never been available to order with right-hand drive,
until now. The first UK customer deliveries are expected from November, with extra
supply secured to meet the greater than expected demand.
So far, 80 per cent of UK customers have opted for the fastback body style over the
convertible and 70 per cent have specified the 416PS 5.0-litre V8 engine over the
more fuel-efficient 317PS 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine. Mustang’s six-speed manual
transmission is the slightly more popular choice (55 per cent) over the six-speed
automatic, which comes with sporty SelectShift paddle control.
Over half of UK Mustangs have been specified with the Custom Pack which includes
satellite navigation, a Shaker Pro 12-speaker audio system, heated and cooled front
seats, a rear view camera, Luster Nickel silver alloy wheels and extra chrome
detailing on fastback models.
Race Red is the most-popular exterior colour among UK buyers, with 23 per cent of
Mustang orders. Magnetic Silver and Shadow Black are joint second choice with 16.1
per cent each and Deep Impact Blue (10.7 per cent) and Triple Yellow (8.6 per cent)
complete the top five. Ebony Black is the top pick for interior colour, selected by more
than 75 per cent of customers.
The right-hand drive Mustang is available to order in the UK from £29,995
(EcoBoost) and £33,995 (V8) and features a Thatcham Category One alarm as
standard.
