History
Ford unveiled the Mustang 55 on 25th July 2019 as a fitting tribute to over half a century of American muscle car excellence. This special anniversary edition wasn't just another variant, it was a bold statement, featuring eye-catching black dissolve-effect bonnet and lower side stripes that flowed across the bodywork with dramatic effect.
The gloss-black 19-inch alloy wheels and distinctive two-tone front grilles in Gloss Black and Pillar Black gave it an aggressive stance, while the Pillar Black 5.0 front wing badges bore a Colorado Red decimal point as a subtle nod to the car's performance heritage. Ford offered the Mustang55 in what they called 'bold new colours', and bold was certainly the right word.
Inside, drivers found themselves surrounded by luxury touches including Alcantara trimmed seats and door panels, leather-wrapped centre console with distinctive grey stitching, and carbon fibre-effect dashboard inserts. Crowning it all was a plaque inscribed MUSTANG FIFTY FIVE YEARS, a permanent reminder of the Pony Car's remarkable journey from 1964 to 2019.
This particular Mustang 55 was first registered in February 2020 and found its way to Norfolk-based enthusiast Roy Page in August 2021. The car's previous owner, apparently a collector of bright green vehicles, had covered just 4,000 miles.
Roy quickly discovered that the Grabber Lime colour scheme combined with the mellifluous V8 soundtrack made quite an impression, using the car to transport friends and family to weddings and prom nights in memorable style.
The Mustang55 even enjoyed its moment in the spotlight when it appeared in the promotional video for American-Ghanaian artist Amaarae's track 'Co-Star', filmed at the studio space Magazine London alongside other exotic machinery.
