Goodwood celebrated 100 years of Ford in the Uk with this amazing parade of Uk manufactured Ford machines, from the Model T variants of 1911 through to the Ford Zephyr from 1970. If you want to know any specifics give me the time they appear on screen and the colour and I'll try and identify it for you. The red race car at the begining is the 1968 F3L built for Alan Mann racing around the DFV for 3 litre sports car racing. The gold car following it is the 1911 brass bodied racer for Henry Ford himself. The twinny tractor at the end is a 163 Ford Doe Triple-D, amazing piece of kit! The weird model-T following it is a 1915 model T modified for starting fighter planes in WW1. Enjoy. And if you listen to the comentary, my Dad had a mk1 Cortina, a 1600GT.
