Ford of Britain Cars on Display at the British Motor Museum

This is fantastic news for car enthusiasts! The 1973 Ford Capri Ferguson 4×4 is a particularly rare and exciting addition. Here’s some interesting trivia about the car:

• It was one of only around 25 ever built, making it a true collector’s item.
• Ford partnered with Ferguson to develop the all-wheel-drive system, which was quite advanced for its time.
• Despite positive reception, the car never went into full production.

The fact that the museum is able to display one on loan is a real treat. It will likely be a highlight of the new Ford exhibit.

Ford’s collection, which totals around 130 cars is not normally accessible to the public. The Museum is pleased to have secured the loan of a 1961 Ford Zodiac Mk II, 1979 Ford Granada Mk II, 1986 Ford RS200, 1988 Ford Fiesta Mk II XR2, 1992 Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4×4, 1993 Ford Escort Mk V Cosworth WRC and a 2004 Ford Focus ST170.

These cars will form a display in the Museum’s Welcome Gallery. The Museum team are hopeful that the great relationship with the Ford of Britain Heritage Collection will present opportunities to expand the number of vehicles on loan and to change the displays often to bring more of this strong collection to the public.

The Ford of Britain Heritage Collection was moved from the company’s Dagenham facility to it’s Parts Distribution Centre in Daventry in 2022. This move has created a new opportunity to work with the British Motor Museum and allow visitors to see Ford Heritage cars that are not normally on display to the public.
