FORD HERITAGE VEHICLES JOIN MUSEUM COLLECTIONThis historic vehicle display at the Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon in Warwickshire has been boosted with the addition of 16 vehicles, on loan from the Essex-based Ford of Britain heritage collection. The vehicles, ranging from a 1912 Manchester-built Model T through to a 1985 Ford RS 200, are already on display and enhance what is the world's largest collection of British historic cars. Roger Putman, chairman of Ford of Britain, handed over the vehicles to Julie Tew, managing director of the Heritage Motor centre. Roger Putman said: "Ford has a very proud history in Britain going back 100 years and the vehicles now on public display at the Centre, represent some of the finest models produced by the company for British motorists." Milestone Ford cars now at the museum include the last Cortina ever made,
the last Capri.
