OLD FORD RALLY 2009

RALLY REPORT :

MOTOR HERITAGE CENTRE, GAYDON . ( Sunday 26th. July 2009.)

A superb range of Ford vehicles numbering around 350 were exhibited at the first Old Ford Rally at the Motor Heritage Centre at Gaydon in Warwickshire. The show was aimed at pre- 1983 Fords and on show there were examples of virtually every UK produced Ford model.

Apart from exhibitor cars, visitors were able to take advantage of the arena parades, outstanding museum facilities, Ford related gallery displays, film shows and an autojumble. BEN charity marshals were kept busy with “Ride in an Old Ford” feature. Through the day over 20 Fords from Model T’s, A’s through to Zephyrs and Capris were available for public rides. Apart from raising money for this motor industry charity this activity gave the opportunity for the next generation of classic car owners to get a taste of old style motoring.

There were 4 pre-1910 cars in the line-up; a 1904 Model A, 1904 Model C and 2 1980 Model S Runabouts which set the scene for the world renowned Model T. Cars dominated but commercials and tractors were on display. About half the vehicles at the show were pre-1955 to give a good balance of older and newer Fords.

Picking the best on view was extremely difficult but a 1957 Ford E83W pickup, belonging to Patrick Russell of Witney, took the “Car of the Show Award”. This had been rescued from a scapyard some years ago and beautifully restored by the owner.

Bob Wilkinson, Secretary of show sponsors Ford Y & C Model Register, said” This first Old Ford Rally has been a great success for all concerned and will become a regular feature on the classic car calendar. Those who missed this will doubtless wish to be here in future years.”
