If you’re a fan of Ford classic cars, you’ve come to the
right place. We’ve picked out three of their very best and we’re going to tell
you a bit more about them. So for all you Ford enthusiasts, sit back and relax
and read all about three of Ford’s all-time best…
RS Escort
Children of the 1980s will remember these icons of the
decade. The Ford Escort quickly became the must-have car up and down the UK. The
Ford Escort RS, which was launched in 1980, went on sale with a price tag of £2857
(which equates to around £11k in today’s money). Over 10,000 RS 2000’s were
made, and these fantastic retro cars achieved a top speed of 108mph. Quite
recently, a Ford RS Escort 2000 with less than 12000 miles on the clock went up
for sale for £37,500. The car was in pristine condition and still had its
original Pirelli tyres. What a find! If you can remember the TV series ‘The
Professionals’ you should be able to recall exactly what a Ford RS Escort looks
like, as this was the very same model used in this highly-popular TV show.
Anglia
Next up on our list of top must-have Ford classic cars, it’s
the Anglia. This popular car was produced between 1939 and 1967 in Dagenham in
Essex, England. There were 1,594,486 Anglia cars produced in that time. Once
production ceased, the Anglia was replaced by the Ford Escort. The Ford Anglia
name was used across a number of models which included –
·
Anglia E04A
·
Anglia E494A
·
Anglia 100E
·
Anglia 105E
·
Anglia Torino 105E
·
Anglia Super 123E
The Ford Anglia is a popular choice on TV too. Z-Cars,
Heartbeat, Roland Rat, and even the Harry Potter film ‘Harry Potter and the
Chamber of Secrets’ all feature Ford Anglia cars. With an iconic silhouette,
it’s little wonder this classic old car features so prominently on our TVs
today.
Capri
Number three on our list is the Ford Capri. This much sought
after of the Ford classic cars is a fastback coupe and was manufactured from
1969 to 1986. It proved highly desirable as nearly 1.9 million Ford Capri cars
were sold during its lifetime. The Capri was fitted with a number of different
engines depending on what model you brought. Higher spec models featured
engines such as the Cologne V6, while lower-spec Capris had engines such as the
Taunus V4. The Capri came in colours as gaudy as neon green, which echoed the
styles of the 1980s perfectly. The Capri has its very own celebrity fan, as
apparently pop star Harry Styles has recently added one to his classic car
collection!
Today, Ford continues to produce cars that end up all over
the world. This American car company is the second largest car manufacturer in
America – and impressively – it’s the fifth largest in the whole world. It was
founded 111 years ago in 1903 by Henry Ford, and to say it is still going
strong today is an understatement.
