PRODUCTS

RARE BREED • It’s taken over a decade to restore this early RS1800 to period-perfect spec. And the concours-quality finish really is something else…

READY TO RESTORE? • If you’re keen to embark upon a restoration, then answer the following 10 questions to see if you are ready for action.

GRANADA ESTATE Mk1 • Ford Heritage: With his previous Mk1 Granada purchase proving to be a no-go, Trevor Hardy wasn’t taking any chances with this rare Estate, and luckily it’s proved to be even better than he hoped.

RESTO TOOLS • Have you got all the tools to restore a Ford? Follow our guide to our top 10 recommendations.

NEVER RACED OR RALLIED • Bought as a well-worn competition car, a tipoff led Paul Jackson to return this Mk2 Mexico back to exactly how it would have left the factory — including the rare Carnival Red hue.

FORDMEET AT SQUIRES • Fordmeet is back with a bang for 2022 with a huge turnout for the twice-yearly gathering that just gets better and better.

SECOND CHANCE • Six years after selling his Dad’s old Mk2 Fiesta, Phil Ray managed to buy it back again and this time he’s never letting it go.
