AUGUST 2008 ISSUE INCLUDES FREE DOUBLE-SIDED POSTER!

Big news! We've been grafting away behind closed doors for the last few months, refining the content and layout of Classic Ford.

The main aim was to make the magazine more accessible for new and established readers alike, while adding more content in important areas like the tech section (we know that like us, you just can't get enough of the tech!)

We hope you like the finished result. Check out the new-look Classic Ford ON SALE TUESDAY, 1 JULY 2008

ON SALE TUESDAY, 8 APRIL 2008

If you’ve got a Classic Ford that’s worth showing off, the Classic Ford Show’s ‘Pride of Ownership’ area is just the thing for you! Send us in a picture and a brief description to get your car published on the website. The best entries will then be invited to display their cars at the show.

We’re looking for anything that stands out from the crowd, from track cars to show cars, drag cars to fast-road cars, and everything in between. Our favourite in each of the following decades will win a prize: ’50s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.

So if you’re the proud owner of an Escort, Anglia, Cortina, Capri, Transit, Corsair or one of the Zeds, whether it’s modified or as fresh as the day it rolled off the production line, get your entry in now and you might just get your pride and joy displayed in the centre of the Classic Ford Show!

To take part click here.

Yes, it’s true, the UK’s best Ford show has now got its 2008 website up and running. At www.classicfordshow.co.uk you’ll find all the information about the show and what’s going on, download forms for club, trade and autojumble stands, buy T-shirts and hoodies, sign up for newsletters, and even view gallieries and movie clips of previous years.

Perhaps most importantly, you can buy discounted advance entry tickets to the show (just £12 compared to £15 on the day), as well as tickets for camping the night before.

The Classic Ford Show is at Santa Pod Raceway on Sunday, June 1. Buy your discounted advance tickets from 01225 732262 or online: www.classicfordshow.co.uk.
