Ford Nationals
Thousands of Fords gather at Ford Nationals every year. Modern, classic, commercial, all are welcome at this popular event! It doesn’t matter if you own a Ford or not, you don’t even need to be a member of a club. If you have a love of Fords, you’ll love just visiting the show and taking in a stunning and varied display. 2024 sees the 60th Anniversary of the Ford Mustang, so this year’s event will include a display of some of the best in Mustang’s long and illustrious history, perfect for fans of this iconic muscle car.
Tickets include entry to the Museum and Collections Centre, giving you the chance to see over 400 cars covering more than a century of motoring history. The Museum’s collection even holds some famous Fords for perusal, from everyday classics like the Ford Cortina Ghia and the Model Y to big-screen heroes like a Ford Anglia from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Lady Penelope’s FAB 1 from the live-action Thunderbirds film.
