I do admire an old Ford of any kind. Some pristine examples and rare ones at that. I am a big fan of the Mk1 Focus, I have had 3 of them which the last one I reluctantly sold (a low mileage late facelift 3dr). That green one looks great. Glad to see people looking after their cars and giving two fingers to the ULEZ, great video.
love the mk1 focus also.i currently have two..03 zetec black tdci estate and a 53 sport tdci in ink blue..rare seemingly. recently sold my 53 ghia tdci which was mint even underneath regret selling it now and the 03 sport tdci in imperial blue.UP the ULEZ.
The MK4 Transits especially with the Banana Diesel under the bonnet were the best vans Ford ever made We ran a few of them all pulling trailers with a combined GVW of 6 tons they never missed a beat and often had 500.000 on the clock before we either overhauled or changed them
I've always wanted an estate XR4x4. Super rare, so much I've never seen one except in a brochure. Love the hatchbacks. I pass a non runner XR4x4 when in mid wales, brings a small tear to the eye. I saw one for sale in NZ once. Getting it back here would've pushed my budget too far. Always wished I could have done it.
There never was an XR4x4 estate, it was a 4x4 Ghia estate, which had the same running gear as the XR4x4 but on a Ghia estate car. Mk1 was the best looking IMO and the rarest as it was only made for a year or so. I got very close to buying one some years ago. It was up for £2400, I think (about 10 years ago). I had a test drive of it but it didn't really grab me. That said, I had just driven 130 miles in a much-newer BMW 530i.
Seeing them ford corsair's brought back memory's, when I was in my teens I borrowed my dads corsair and wrote it off bad day for me worse day for my dad third party insurance total loss happy to say I was able to buy him another car to replace it wasn't a corsair but he was happy with the car I got him 😁👍
some lovely cars featured although the so called modern classics do nothing for me! each to their own of course, shame you don't see many, if any, mk 4 zephyrs and zodiacs at classic ford meets, the corsairs featured were lovely, re escort mk1s, i actually prefer the bog standard ones as opposed to the hot ones everyone wants, my old dad had a lovely base model 4 door mk1 in the early 70s, great memories
Classic car shows should ONLY allow cars over 40 years old & standard spec, the focus is not a classic yet & them pimped up vehicles should be in a show of their own, anyone can throw money putting big engines & sparkly wheels on a classic, they AINT a classic once you’ve done that s**t to them 🙄
They seem to be more popular now than in their heyday when they were cheap throw away cars I know I had enough them, I do prefer the character of stock ones though rather than the clinically modified stuff, not had a Ford now for over 25yrs but I do miss my first car a 1973 MK3 GXL Cortina 🥲.

Appreciate all the effort that went into restoring this period-correct Transit.
The Focus is 25 years old! Wow... how old does that make me feel?🙁
Nice to see a 'smiley face' Scorpio on display there!
Loved it! -Joe
That Escort Cosworth at 2m23s is exactly how I’d have mine. Absolutely stunning, nothing I hate more than the upsized standard looking wheels on them.
I might be wrong but i think that silver Granada VHK 491S was used in The Sweeney tv series
Correct, it appeared in season 4,and the sweeney 2 film i believe.
This has quickly become one of my favorite motoring channels on YT. Cheers!
Thanks Sebastian, means a lot!

Agreed!
A good show and another good video 🚘🚙🚗⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👏👏👏
Escort XR3 wish I had never sold mine!! I won’t be parting with my ST200 tho 😂

I wonder if 30 years on people will attend the show in a Mach-e. I don't think so. I don't even think Ford will still be alive in Europe in 30 years.
Possibly but I understand that the Puma topped the sales charts in Britain in April

So good to see em all. Didn’t spot a mint XR3i but all else superb - as was the presentation. Nice work!
Thanks a lot!
Love an old Ford 😊👍
My fast ford addiction has been satisfied cheers, the mk 1 focus is most definitely a future classic game changing car 👍
Your right with that comment , a FUTURE classic, not classic for another 15 years & by that time they will mostly be baked bean tins
@@markevans2280 that's very true hopefully some will survive 🙏
Sitting on and enjoying my owned from new 2013 Fiesta ST
I’d love to find a good Granada Scorpio 4x4 from 85/6 in silver sage with velour seats…
Can’t help thinking that this reminds of the Dutch tulip mania 😂
So where were the old Fords?
You never showed any cougars
