CLASSIC MOTOR SHOW THEME REVEALED

TOP 10 REASONS TO VISIT FORD FAIR 2022 • Ford Fair is back at Silverstone on Sunday, August 14. Here are 10 reasons why you should be there.

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH

CLASSIC FORD SHOW • After a lockdown-induced break, the Classic Ford Show made a welcome return — at a great new venue. Here’s what went down.

WHY GROW UP? • Nineties nostalgia is massive in 2022 – and for those who were there, living large in Cool Britannia, this is about more than just retro fashion…

TOP 10 HOT HATCH HEROES • No other car maker could touch Ford when it came to fast, affordable hatchbacks in the 1980s. Here’s why.

FIESTA XR2 MK2 • Ford Heritage: In the late 1980s, the only car Paul Kitson wanted was a Mk2 XR2. Now, over three decades on, he’s finally got one — and it’s even better than he ever could have imagined.

XTRA SLICE • The Great British Car Journey museum proved to be a great new location for the XR Owners’ Club’s latest meet.

GOLDEN DAYS • A lifetime of Capri passion has led to this: a beautifully restored JPS, tuned for the street and strip.
