The countdown is on as the Classic Ford Show gears up for its return to the South of England Showground on Sunday 10 May
Known as Europe’s largest event dedicated entirely to classic Fords, the Classic Ford Show is a must-attend day out for anyone passionate about the Blue Oval.
Expect to see hundreds of cars spanning decades of Ford history – from humble Anglias and Cortinas to rally-bred Escorts, muscular Capris and fast Fiestas. Whether your taste leans towards factory-correct restorations or wild modified builds, the show brings together the full spectrum of the classic Ford scene in one place.
A major highlight will be the Classic Ford Top 50, showcasing the finest examples in the UK today. Carefully curated by the Classic Ford editorial team, the display brings together an eclectic mix of concours restorations, rare survivors and expertly engineered performance builds. Another crowd favourite is the Great Unveiling, where several freshly completed projects are revealed to the public for the very first time.
Beyond the show cars, the event is packed with plenty to keep enthusiasts busy all day. The bustling retail village offers everything from hard-to-find panels and trim to performance upgrades and memorabilia, while the extensive club displays showcase the passion that keeps the classic Ford scene thriving. Whether you’re hunting parts for your latest restoration, looking for inspiration for your next project, or simply want to spend a day surrounded by old-school Fords and like-minded enthusiasts, the Classic Ford Show delivers the lot.
Planning to attend? Mark the date and join us on 10 May for a proper celebration of Britain’s favourite everyday classics.
