What’s On
The Classic Ford Show team are working hard on securing exciting, new features for 2025 to showcase the very best of the Classic Ford scene. Here’s a look at what you can expect to see at Classic Ford Show 2025!
Club Displays
At the heart of the event are the car clubs celebrating the rich community that keeps the Classic Ford Show alive. If you belong to a car club and you’d like to display your car with your club members. Get your pass below!
Special Display
Not part of a club but would still love to display your car? Well panic not! We offer drivers who aren’t part of a club the opportunity to display their car within the Special Display area at the event! As long as you’ve got a classic Ford, you will be guaranteed a spot within the Special Display area.
40th Anniversary of the Cosworth Display
The iconic Sierra Cosworth first appeared back in 1985, meaning it’s time to celebrate its 40th Anniversary this year. And celebrate we shall! We’re thrilled to showcase 40 of the UK’s finest three-door Cossies in a spectacular display! This incredible lineup will feature a blend of standard and highly tuned examples, with a biot of everything in between. Each car represents a unique piece of automotive history, making this display a must-see for every Sierra enthusiast. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the scene, there will be something to excite every Cossie lover. Join us for this unforgettable celebration of Ford’s legendary performance icon!
Classic Ford Top 50 Display
Want to know what the 50 finest classic Fords are in the UK right now? Look no further than our special Top 50 display. Curated by Classic Ford magazine, and featuring original, restored and modified examples that represent the classic Ford scene in its best light — from spaceframed 1950s Pops through to concours 1990s RS Turbos, it’s all here.
The Great Unveiling
The Great Unveiling will showcase a selection of recent project builds (in some cases so recent that they are still being finished the night before the show!) that have been deliberately kept low key and off the radar, and haven’t been anywhere near a website, forum or social media page! So when we pull the covers back it will be the first time anyone has seen these amazing classics!
Classic Ford ICONS
Classic Ford ICONS is all about the showstoppers and we’re excited to see the builds you’ve been creating for 2025! We’re giving you the opportunity to enter to take part in the Classic Ford ICONS, where we hand-pick the top entrants that enter to display on the day. Entries open soon.
60 years of the Transit
Join us in celebrating this major milestone for Ford’s ‘Backbone Of Britain’ at the 2025 Classic Ford Show. Was it really as long ago as 1965 that Britain’s builders could finally find an easy home for every sheet of 8×4 they needed? Was it 60 years ago that Ford finally built a van that handled like a car. and that a phenomenal dynasty was founded?
Over the years derivatives have become rally barges, motor-homes, four-wheel-drive load luggers, crew buses, flat beds, riot vans, mobile libraries, pop group transport, executive transport and more… The original Transit was not only bigger, better, faster and more versatile than any other such van on the market in Europe, but it was also fun to drive, and we’ll be celebrating the model’s 60th birthday with a special display of classic models at the Classic Ford Show.
Want to join the display with your own Transit? Get in touch here.
Escort Mk2 & Mk3 Anniversary Display
It’s a rear versus front-wheel-drive showdown as we showcase 50 years of the Mk2 and 45 years of the Mk3. Incredibly, Ford’s Escort celebrates two major anniversaries in 2025 — 50 years of the Mk2, and 45 years of the Mk3 — and at the Classic Ford Show we’ll be marking the occasions with a specially-curated display featuring examples of both from across the scene. With the Mk2 as the last-generation — and arguably the best — of the rear-wheel-drive versions that saw out the 1970s, and the Mk3 introducing front-wheel-drive to the platform — and the 1980s — the display will showcase the Escort arguably at its peak. And with the Escort’s iconic status as a bona fide motorsport legend too, expect incredible examples from the worlds of racing and rallying, plus superbly-restored examples of RS variants, top-spec Mk2s and Mk3s from the world of modified classics, and a few unusual versions you might not have seen before!
