New Ford Mustang: yours for £29k

Today, for the first time in the history of the United Kingdom, you will be able to order a brand new, right-hand drive Ford Mustang.

Yep, 50 years after America's favouritest muscle car went into production, we in the UK will be able to order one brand new, with the steering wheel on the correct side of the car, with prices starting from £28,995.

For that price - around three grand cheaper than a Nissan 370Z GT - you'll get a Mustang with the 2.3-litre, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, producing 310bhp. Want the 5.0-litre V8 and 415 horses? Prices for that car start at £32,995 (six speed manual in a ‘Fastback' body). Which, if we're talking bang for yer buck, is quite a lot of bang.

Of course, you don't need us to tell you any more about how good the new Ford Mustang really is. In Top Gear magazine a couple of month's back, we celebrated the new model's arrival to these shores - and the 50th anniversary of the iconic pony car - by taking it across all 50 states in the US. It's the car in the picture above.
