Ford classics lap Goodwood for centenary tour

Ford classics Goodwood centenary tour

Classic cars wowed the crowds at the weekend (September 17th) as a motorcade of over 100 vintage Fords took to the circuit at the Goodwood Revival.

Representing the culmination in the month-long Ford Centenary Tour, the cars were no doubt appreciated by retro car policyholders as well as everyday drivers who enthuse about vintage motors.

Several iconic Model Ts graced the circuit along with a 1966 Le Mans 24-hour race-winning Ford GT MkII, while Henry Ford's 1896 Quadricycle sat in the nearby Earls Court Motorshow area next to more modern examples of Ford's changing product line-up.

"The diverse range of Ford cars and commercial vehicles driving around the circuit is testament to Ford's strong relationship to the UK," commented the manufacturer's UK chairman Joe Greenwell.

Sitting at the head of the procession in a Ford Consul, he added that he was "delighted to be a part" of the show.

For sports car lovers, the firm unveiled its new Fiesta ST concept model for audiences at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which, the company claims, continues the car's proud 35-year-history.
