Collective kings of cool

Miami, beach life and rental cars

Should you want to browse beyond our selection, you can find many more Ford Mustangs for sale in the Classic Driver Market.

The majority of the dilapidated lots involve British machinery, including a trio of Jensen Interceptors, a brace of Aston DBSs, several Jaguars and a couple of classic range Rovers. You'll also find rarities such as a Facel Vega HK 500 and a Maserati Kyalami – but perhaps you’d prefer to revive a pre-War Morris lorry, a Mini-based caravan, or even a late-60s milk float with small-screen provenance?

In the gallery above, you'll see the diverse scope of the Ford pensmiths – they experimented with four-door saloons, mid-engined coupés and chopped-roof speedsters. Early in the 'Stang's life, a shooting brake variant was even considered, and is the Classic Driver favourite from this would-be back-catalogue.

Making up the infamous list of cars to be pinched were a slew of American machines, but there was also the odd timeless European – all with female nicknames, of course. Alongside ‘Eleanor’ – a ‘bitsa’ early-70s Sportsroof Mustang rather than the remake’s 1967 Fastback – were ‘Terri’ (a 1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow), ‘Marilyn’ (a 1969 De Tomaso Mangusta), and ‘Paula’ (an early Ferrari V12, possibly an Inter).

Introduced in the mid-60s, the Fulvia Coupé would go head-to-head with Alfa Romeo’s GT Junior; both were compact, lightweight performance machines with advanced engines and competition intentions. However, while the Alfas retained their traditional rear-wheel-drive layout, the Fulvia adopted the front-drive layout of its recently launched Flavia sibling.
