Supercharged Mustang from the 90s that belonged to boxing legend could be yours for just £9K

Foreman, famous for his devastating power in the ring and later his best-selling grills, was gifted the car by Saleen after fronting their promotional campaign.
Despite keeping it in his personal collection for decades, he reportedly drove it only on rare occasions.
Now, nearly 30 years on, the bright yellow muscle car is hitting the market – and it's packed with serious punch.
Under the bonnet lies a supercharged 5.8-litre V8 R-code engine producing a massive 510 horsepower, with a top speed of 172mph.
Inside, it boasts black Recaro leather seats and a surprisingly low mileage of just 728 miles, according to Luxury Auto News.
More than £42,000 has been spent on upgrades, and the car comes with documents including a copy of the title in Foreman's name.
Bidding ends on 28 July and is being handled by SBX Cars, who said: 'This car, unit 30 of the 42 Saleen-produced convertibles for the year, was completed in early March 1995 and was featured in Saleen's press materials.
'It was later handed off to the legendary George Foreman as its first owner.
'Foreman, best known for being a two-time boxing heavyweight champion and an Olympic gold medalist, reportedly kept the car for decades, yet only drove it sparingly.
'A copy of the title in his name will accompany the car.
'It is fitting that Saleen's slogan is: Power in the hands of a few.
'This is a car that simply has no equal.'
Only 42 of the Saleen S351 convertibles were made in 1995, making this model particularly rare.
The car featured in Saleen's original promotional material and has had more than £42,000 spent on upgrades over the years.
A copy of the title bearing Foreman's name is included in the sale, adding historical interest for fans and collectors alike.

Commanders inducting Santana Moss into Ring of Fame
July 27 - The Washington Commanders will induct wide receiver Santana Moss into the franchise's Ring of Fame during the Sept. 7 season opener against the New York Giants, the team announced Sunday. Moss played the last 10 seasons (2005-14) of his NFL career with Washington following four seasons with the New York Jets (2001-04). He ranks third in Washington franchise history in career catches (581), fourth in receiving yards (7,867) and seventh in touchdown receptions (47). Moss made his lone Pro Bowl in his first year in the nation's capital, catching 84 passes for a career-high 1,483 yards and nine TDs. His yardage total remains the Washington single-season record. The Commanders surprised Moss, 46, during a live broadcast with the team at training camp in Ashburn, Va. He was surrounded by friends and family members wearing burgundy caps with "MOSS" on the front and his jersey No. 89 on the sides. "Normally, I am so nonchalant," an emotional Moss said. "I don't know how to take in stuff, but man, that one right there ... I don't want to show my tears, but I'm about to shed some. I appreciate that news." Drafted in the first round (16th overall) by the Jets in 2001, Moss retired with 732 receptions for 10,283 yards and 66 scores in 197 games (135 starts). He had 24 100-yard games and four 1,000-yard seasons. --Field Level Media

Commanders' Terry McLaurin arrives at camp, put on PUP list
July 27 - Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin arrived at training camp Sunday without a new deal and was placed on the physically unable to perform list with an ankle injury. "Terry McLaurin has reported and we're very happy about that," Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said. "He'll start training camp on PUP for his ankle." McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, was placed on the reserve/did not report list Wednesday. He is seeking an extension as he enters the final season of a three-year, $68.4 million deal. His average annual salary of $22.8 million ranks 17th among receivers. Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase is No. 1, earning an average of $40.2 million, per Spotrac. "On the business side, (Commanders general manager Adam Peters) and his side are still working very hard with Terry and his reps on the business side of things," Quinn said. "While on PUP he'll be working with the trainers." McLaurin was fined $50,000 per day and $200,000 in total after missing the start of training camp. Washington selected McLaurin, a product of Ohio State, in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl twice and was named a second team All-Pro in 2024. McLaurin is coming off a big year, amassing 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns in 17 games. It was his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season. --Field Level Media
