I have spoken to the experience provider, and she has advised that generally speaking, they do not recommend this experience for someone with a knee replacement as it is quite heavy handling - however, if you feel his knee replacement does not cause him problems, she has advised he can always try it out on the day and if it is unsuitable, they can have an instructor take the driving seat to turn it into a passenger ride.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of these cars, the experience provider does not generally recommend this experience for people with knee replacements. However, you are welcome to give it a try on the day, and if it is not suitable you will be assigned an instructor to turn it into a passenger ride.

All cars run at each location, so he should be able to choose the Mustang as his favourite car.

That's correct you would choose your cars from the list here 1960's Ford GT40, 1965 Shelby Cobra, a 1965 Race Prepped Mustang GT350, the 'KITT' Pontiac Firebird, Lotus Cortina, a 1969 Camaro SS1 or the General Lee Dodge Charger upon booking the date and time.
