Exterior.

Finished in Wimbledon White with whitewall tyres, the exact same visual spec as featured in all of Ford’s launch advertising in April 1964.

The Mustang is a true classic that is known for its iconic design and styling. When finished in Wimbledon White, it takes on a classic and timeless appearance. This example is full of character and charm, unmodified, unrestored and completely original. The car has a lovely patina which can only get better with age, often such examples are more desirable than their fully restored counterparts.

The front of the car features a long, sleek bonnet with two prominent headlights on either side of the iconic Mustang emblem. The front grille is made up of a series of horizontal bars that give the car a sporty and aggressive look. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with clean lines and a balanced design.

Moving to the side of the car, the body is sculpted with gentle curves and flowing lines that create a sense of motion and speed. The wheel arches are pronounced, giving the car a muscular appearance. The side profile is finished off with the iconic Mustang badge on the front wing.

The overall design is symmetrical and balanced, with all of the elements coming together to create a cohesive and attractive whole.

In summary, the styling of a 1964 Mustang in Wimbledon White is a perfect example of classic American car design. With its iconic Mustang emblem, long bonnet, and sculpted body, the car exudes elegance and power. The clean lines, balanced proportions, and attention to detail make it a timeless classic.

Interior.

As you step inside you get a real feel for the originality as you do with the exterior. The steering wheel is still wrapped in the glove which was fitted by Denise Monti when new. This Mustang was optioned with the gorgeous full chrome centre console which really adds to the overall feel.
