At the Goodwood Revival the biggest vehicle cavalcade will
take place, Ford of Britain chairman – Joe Greenwell will be in the lead car.
The celebratory parade will consist of 100 Ford models; the first parade will
start at 11:05am on Friday, 11:10am on Saturday and then finally at 11:25am on
Sunday.
Many “special” Ford models are due to participate in the
parades, such as the Ford Anglia 105E used in the film "Harry Potter and
the Chamber of Secrets". Racing Ford models will also be in the parade
including the 1966 Le Mans 24-hour race-winning Ford GT Mk II; the 1970 London
to Mexico World Cup rally-winning Ford Escort Mk I; and the 1912 all-Ford-race
winner at Brooklands: the 1911 UK-built Ford Model T - "The Golden
Ford."
Not participating in the parades but present at the Ford
exhibition at Goodwood will be very special models such as the 1960s Ford
Corsair and a 1960s replica of Henry Ford's Quadracycle. These classic models
will be on show alongside a new Ford Focus and the new Grand C-MAX.
Joe Greenwell, Ford of Britain chairman, said: "Ford is
delighted to be at Goodwood Revival in such strength this year. The Ford
Centenary Tour of the UK has been a great success and with an exciting range of
Ford vehicles to be showcased at Goodwood, we're hoping to end our Ford of
Britain Centenary celebrations with a bang!"
