Club Night – September 19th

 

Ford Heritage – Moving House and the Story of Two Hero Cars

​

​

​

 

 

 

As most of you know from his newsletter articles, Stuart Black worked in Product Development for Ford for 30 years and, in retirement, is a volunteer at The Ford Heritage Collection. In 2017, Stuart gave a talk to the club on the background to the Collection and looked at Ford of Britain’s history through key models in the collection from the Model T to the Cortina.

​

This time, Stuart will briefly recap on what the Heritage Collection comprises, how the vehicles are used and the recent relocation from Dagenham to its new home and much improved display facilities at Daventry.

 

There are many iconic cars and Stuart has picked a couple of his favourites to talk about in more detail, looking at the examples that Ford still owns and the design, production and competition histories of both cars.
