Classic Ford – August 2019

SPIRIT


OF THE


TOUR
We had to give this award to Mark Boyle for his
“don’t call it a hearse” Scorpio limo — bought
just for the tour because his Capri wasn't ready
in time. The family joined him — uncle John,
Craig and Janet Boyle and Paul Cash. The tour
thrives on people like this – always laughing;
slightly mad and thoroughly good company!

following weekend it was at the Classic Ford Show.

CAR OF THE TOUR


Sam’s Fiesta is exactly what the Classic
Ford scene is all about. A true homebuilt
hero, he bought it six years ago as a
standard 1.1, and Sam’s done the lot from
the bodywork to the gearbox. Even better,
it’s running a 1600 CVH rather than the
usual Zetec, too.
