Ford Mustang is Europe’s most desirable classic car, according to a survey of more than 75,000 users of online car portal AutoScout24.

A total of 37 percent of Europeans – from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain – named Ford Mustang as the classic car they would most like to own. Confirmed as coming to Europe soon for the first time since the 1970s, Mustang is the clear winner, ahead of the BMW M1 (20 percent) and Volkswagen Beetle (11 percent).

“Ford Mustang is more than a car, it’s the freedom of the open road and the spirit of performance driving,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, marketing, sales and service, Ford of Europe. “Mustang has been a fundamental part of global automotive culture for almost half a century and is one of the world’s most recognizable vehicles.”
