Where can I hire a classic Mustang?

[Dave80s]

as the topic title says, can anyone recommend a company which hires a classic Mustang for a day, or weekend? It is a birthday present for my father in law. Not sure if the "vintage" is important, but he is 64 next month if that helps.

Oxford area if possible.

Looks perfect! I will let you know how I get on.

I have just booked it for April 2nd, so I will report back after then.

£220 plus £15 for 1 extra driver.

Well, I hired it. We had it for the day on Monday. Old style Mustang owners will know that the car takes a bit of getting used to, with its unservo'ed drum brakes and no power steering.
The engine was something else though, I never got tired of blipping the throttle to listen to the noise from the exhaust.
Mid range power was great as well, between 60-90mph the car takes off rapidly.
LHD was no problem for me, but the father in law had a few hairy moments as it is quite wide.
We did about 200 miles in it and loved it.

yes I will post them up.

If you do hire it - never get out with the engine running! The stick is a bit loose and the car has a tendency to vibrate out of 'Park' and into 'Reverse'. We had a hairy moment when swapping drivers.

We got loads of comments and stares - 'nice car' etc. I felt a bit of a fraud.

The car has to go back with a full tank, so I stopped at a nearby garage for a final top up. The fuel only came to £3 and the cashier said, 'that won't last long'.
