The hand of the king’s Mustang

24 October, 2015

Classic Car Auctions (CCA) will be offering a very special 1967 Ford Mustang convertible — owned by British actor and Game of Thrones star Charles Dance — in its auction on December 5 at The Warwickshire Exhibition Centre.  

This Mustang has been owned by Dance since 2002, and was a daily driver right up until 2013, when he was made to treat the car to a full restoration. This included fitting all-new floor pans, new rear wings, a fully rebuilt 289 V8 engine, and a complete new brake system. The car then received a full bare-metal respray.

The Mustang is now going under the hammer in CCA’s final sale of the year, with an estimate of between £25,000–£30,000 (NZ$56,350–67,610).

Commenting on the car, CCA general manager Guy Lees-Milne said, “This is the ideal car not just for Mustang fans but for Game of Thrones obsessives around the world. Just imagine driving the car once owned by Tywin Lannister!”

The Mustang will join around 100 other classic cars in CCA’s December sale.

 

Dad will love this!

Motorsport Flashback: The Temple of Speed

28 August, 2026

On the banks of the Lambro River is Europe’s largest enclosed park, all 688 hectares of it. Parco di Monza was commissioned by the son of an Austrian empress as a summer retreat in the late 1700s, but it would be for another century and a half before ground was broken on what would become Italy’s famous theatre of speed at the park’s northern end. One hundred years ago on 3 September, less than four months after work started, Autodromo Nazionale di Monza was officially opened and the first race – appropriately, the Italian Grand Prix – was run a week later. Monza was the world’s third purpose-built circuit, after Brooklands and Indianapolis, and was the result of the Milan Automobile Club financing the 3500 workers who created the super-quick, and consequently dangerous, track that made the word ‘Monza’ synonymous for speed.
