AMAZING New Fast Ford Collection! | Secret Stash

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

A fan of fast Fords? Or slow ones, for that matter? Either way, if you’re big into the Blue Oval, then you’ll be interested in Ford’s new Heritage and Innovation Centre in the UK.
Just finished, it houses more than 100 vehicles, from a Model T, through multiple GT40s and a million-pound Escort, to all the best Cossies and RS Fords. Recently relocated from Dagenham to Daventry, it also provides access to a library containing brochures, owners’ manuals and advertising materials from Ford’s UK history.
So, before it opens to the public, join Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford for a tour of 100-plus years of Ford history in Britain.

    I visited the collection at Dagenham several times, but it was asked and everything was pushed into every corner, so looking at the cars was a real problem, so nice to see the collection having a proper home. The only downside was that we used to borrow cars for events and trackdays at Dunton. We just phoned them up and negotiated what we wanted. One year we had an Escort Mk1 and an RS200, quite a contrast to what we were making at the time.

I've had a Mk4 Ford Escort Eclipse driven 2 Transits, a Transit Connect for work and now own a Mk6 Fiesta Zetec (S Rep) now. Got to love a blue oval. ♥ Wonder if they can grab those Fords that are stored in that old dealership in Germany. Would be cool to have them along with their siblings in that Centre.
