What's your favourite classic Fords?
My favourites are MK1, MK2 and the Anglia my dads got an MK1 I've put picture of it down below
(He built it himself)
The GT 40 was obviously an icon (Kenny), and - at the time beat the Ferrari's at their own game.
… But to come back to earth! I liked the 'Consul Classics' , especially the 'Capri' (early 60's).
A Mk1 Lotus Cortina, however would be a 'fave' of mine, in 'classic' Lotus White with the green stripe!
I did own a Cortina Mk2 GT… But thats the closest i got!
That is an Escort Mk 1
I agree with the GT 40 although I have had Escort Mk 2, Orion Mk 1, Granada Mk 2.
A friend had an Anglia

Street legal.
Capris, cortinas, escorts crown victorias & basically any ford except the taurus.
1969 Ford Mustang.
Older 1960 to 1970s Ford trucks.
Hi the yellow car is not a anglia it is a Mark 1 escort as used by ford called a mexico. Used for rallying and road racing.
the lotus cortnia had a lotus engine and really hard suspension. The best ever has to be a ford sierra cosworth like the blue and white one in the picture walkinson also breathed life into many a mk3 carpi and bored it out to 3.2 litres. The best ford i ever saw was a ford escort rally car nothing like a road car as it had a glassfibre body. Cost 45 k pounds back in 1985.
- Which classic car is bigger? My dad has a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Conv. I made a wise crack to him one time that I wanted a 1958 Plymouth Fury (Christine). He said that that the car was bigger then the Galaxie. But I was at work today and said something to a co-worker and they said the Fury is a good deal smaller then the Galaxie. I never got to see a '58 Fury in person so I was wanting to know, thanks.
- Where in the UK can I hire a classic american car for self drive, ie, as driver not passenger? I want to hire a classic car preferably something like a dodge charger or ford 69 gto for a day or two as a gift to a petrol head, obviously I want him to be able to drive the car himself. We're London based but could be in surrounding areas to pick up the car.
- What classic car should I buy? I'm a 16 year old boy, making some money this summer and throughout the next year. I really want a "classic" car (1970-1985 ish); what old cars are easy and cheap to maintain compared to other cars of their era. I like a lot of cars, Volvo, BMW, Saab, Mercedes, Acura, Audi, VW, Ford, Olds, Pontiac… I LOVE the look of old Jaguars, and I always see them for sale with low miles and a low price, but I know they're terrible to own… Thanks
- What are some of your favorite (unpopular) classic cars? For example, Everyone loves a 1969 Camaro SS or a '57 BelAir, or even a 1979 Trans Am. But what about a 1954 Hudson Hornet, or a 1934 duesenberg? Or even a 1934 Ford with a 1000
