Where are all the Classic Fords Hiding?
Posted: Thu May 29, 2025 2:55 am
I have been touring around the U.K. for over a month now and I keep my eyes open and camera ready for all the classic vehicles you might expect to find here. I did find some nice Escorts in the Beaulieu Auto Museum but that's to be expected, I am looking for the classics that are actually being used as drivers.
I have seen a lot of Morris Minors, Jaguars and others but hardly any old Fords and not a single 100e?? These are the only Ford classics that I have seen, aside from two Escorts that were moving faster than I could draw my camera. The old Ford Popular was in Tenby, Wales, the red Escort in Lymington and the Capri at Saundersfoot beach near Tenby. I did talk to the Capri owner and he mentioned that he has had the car since he was 18 years old.
These two are obviously not Fords but I was impressed by the fact that the owners are putting them to real use, the old Aston Martin was in Lymington and the old Bentley in Yarmouth, on the Isle of Wight.
I will continue to keep my eyes open for the next week or so for those elusive Fords.
