Classic Ford fans are in for a treat when the British Motor Museum hosts the 9th Old Ford Rally held in conjunction with the Ford Y & C Register. On Sunday 16 July around 600 classic Fords will go on display at the biggest rally of classic Fords in the UK.  Vehicles including commercials, tractors and vehicles with a Ford engine built up to 1990 will be on display, exhibiting the incredible range of vehicles produced by one of the world’s biggest manufacturers.

Visitors will be able to see a huge range from Model T’s to the cars of the pre-war austerity years plus agricultural vehicles, Thames and Ford commercial vehicles as well as the more luxurious post-war Zephyr’s, Zodiac’s and Granada’s. There will also be the Mk1 and Mk2 Cortina’s, Anglia’s, and Escorts as well as Capri’s from the 1960’s – mid 1980’s. A first for this year is the 1925 Ford Model T Railway Inspection Car which will be running on a short 30m section of track outside the Collections Centre.

The show will also host a display of Ford or Ford engined military vehicles of all ages and the Bicester Home Guard will also be in attendance supporting the military vehicle section.
