A complete catalogue of Ford UK cars
This compact guide to all British Fords built between 1945 and 1995 is illustrated throughout with full colour photos, detailed model comparisons, and technical information, making it an essential identification guide for any Ford enthusiast.
History of an historic marque
Ford cars can be found all of the world, and vintage models are sure to make an appearance at almost every classic car show. The Ford Motor Company is an American manufacturer, but Ford's UK presence fully took hold in 1909, with the Ford of Britain subsidiary. Over the following decades, Ford became a firm favourite among the UK's motorists: the 'Blue Oval' remains so to this day.
Lavishly illustrated with real-world examples
Each of our Pictorial History guides provides a unique record into the range of models produced by some of the world's most famous auto makers of the 19th and 20th centuries. This guide covers all cars sold by Ford of Britain between 1945 and 1955, and is packed with over 330 photographs, some especially taken at events, fan meetings, and car gatherings all over the UK. You'll also find details of the models created by specialist coachbuilders, making this a comprehensive guide to Ford's UK consumer vehicles.
Detailed and accurate
Accompanying the hundreds of photographs, Ford Cars also includes detailed descriptions for every model, including specifications, interior trim, and optional extras; you'll even find gear shift-gate patterns, dash layout diagrams, and original colour options.
Model by model comparisons, including special editions, production dates, and the original prices of vehicles when they were introduced, make this the perfect pocket-sized, comprehensive guide to every consumer-level UK Ford of the period.
