A firm favourite with car enthusiasts and blue oval fans alike, with up to 1000 Fords of all shapes and sizes expected to attend the Simply Ford 2015 event.

Simply Ford 2015 – What’s on?

Whether you own a modern-day Mondeo ST, a classic Fiesta, an iconic Capri, or a pre-war Model Y, all Fords are welcome to join the display in the parklands and enjoy the day out.

This year, the event celebrates 50 years of the Ford Transit, Britain’s favourite van. From its birth in 1965, when it raised the bar for van and light truck design, to its current fifth generation, the Transit has become a worldwide success.  Owners of all ages and models of Transit are welcome to come along and join the rally.

Events Co-ordinator Andy Ollerenshaw said: “We are proud to celebrate the anniversary of the Transit, while show regulars Ford Heritage will be bringing along eight examples of this legendary vehicle, from the first Transit ever built to the V8-powered ‘Supervan.’
