1965 Ford Mustang 289 "Hi-Po" 'K' Code
Possibly the finest K-Code Mustang available worldwide, all tuned
Mustangs, even today, can trace their DNA back to this very car.
Purchased by our UK vendor three years ago in the United States,
the restoration was carried out by renowned Mustang expert and MCA judge
Denis Frances Resto's of Danville Virginia. It was subject to a bare
metal rotisserie restoration with the brief to make it as per factory
production line including factory overspray detail and crayon marks.
Finished in Caspian Blue and Black interior with Carlite factory tint
glass, it is faithful to the original specification and retains its
original door plate.
This Mustang really is as good as it gets and could easily grace
the best collections in the world. The Mustang is probably the most
iconic American car of all time and this is the car that spawned the
famous tuned derivatives. It is simply stunning with an exhaust note
that mesmerises in equal measure.
Estimate (£): 40,000 - 45,000

1950 Ford F2 V8 Pickup
Powered by a jaw-dropping Mercury V8 Flat head engine, this
fabulous left-hand drive 1950 F2 Pickup truck has had a reported in
excess of £20,000 spent on it in the last four years. We are told the
engine rebuild alone cost in excess of £4,000.
Imported from the United States in early 2011 and purchased by the
current vendor in March of that year, ‘784 YUE' was first registered in
the UK in September 2011. The last owner, prior to the car being
exported, served in the American Air Force and only used the pickup
sparingly during 35 years of ownership.
Since restoration and rebuild of the V8 engine, this truck has had
very little use, having travelled just 20 miles and 36,467 unwarranted
miles overall. With the current vendor not getting the time to use this
wonderful vehicle it is offered here for sale. Supplied with a full V5C,
this 1950 Ford F2 V8 pickup is both MoT and tax exempt. Simply
described as the ‘real deal' by the vendor this V8 Pickup must be of
consideration at this estimate price.
Estimate (£):15,000 - 18,000

1955 Ford Thunderbird
Now rightly becoming recognised as a "blue oval icon", the
Thunderbird now features in many serious and noted classic car
collections around the world.
This 1955 example is presented in Blue and furnished with black
vinyl and has resided in the UK since 1963. The white glass-fibre
hardtop fits wells and the soft top hood collapses away behind the seats
of the car.
This useable T-Bird is ready for a new owner to enjoy at a very realistic guide.
Estimate (£): 17,500 - 20,500
