First of all the PJ Nicholls team would like to wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas but also take the time to give our thanks for all your support and custom this past year. We’ve had a very eventful 2014 and next year looks to be even bigger. Our Pershore, Evesham, Tewkesbury and Malvern garages are all kicking up a festive frenzy with many getting excited for spending some time with their families in the coming weeks.

Still, there’s been news of a 2015 model launch that should get Ford aficionados’ blood racing. The Ford Mustang is finally coming to Europe! Yes, after half a century on sale in the US and securing status as a classic American car we shall finally be able to get behind the wheel of our own Mustang.

The Mustang was originally launched in April 1964 becoming the fastest selling car in world history. It was affordable and sporty but has seen countless reiterations over the years with a recent vintage style re-launch back in 2002. Expect a spring 2015 launch for the European model but dates could no doubt change and expect limited availability through select Ford dealerships (fingers crossed).

Early previews of the European Mustang indicate a solid, attractive rework of the American muscular classic but the price is a little high. For around £30k expect a 305bhp 2.3 litre turbocharged four cylinder engine in manual 6 gear form while those willing to splash out a few grand more can drive off in a 420bhp/390lb ft 5.0 litre V8 model.

If you fancy it yourself then by all means the entry fee is worth it but we expect this to remain a niche product for Ford of Europe. It’s a hefty vehicle with a comfortable, attractive interior and will no doubt please early adopters. We suggest keeping an eye on motoring news for future updates. Exciting!

Merry Christmas all!
