The term 'legend' isn't a title that can be thrown around lightly. But today's collection of cars is well-deserving of that very title. Today, Liam explores the incredible Ford Heritage Collection at the Heritage centre in the birthplace of Ford UK, Essex. The Ford Heritage Centre is known for its massive collection of over 100 unique, iconic and incredibly rare blue oval cars. In this video, we'll be exploring a selection of those cars, with some very famous cars along the way.

Massive thank you to Ford for letting us come and play with their rather special toys. The full collection is over 100 cars large, but which car was your favourite from this selection? *Fancy watching our look at the Original Escort Mexico?

We know, we realised after we'd filmed the footage we'd completely missed it which is a shame as we were talking about it moments earlier. Sadly we didn't have too much time available to film the entire collection as we were focused on FEV1 so it slipped our mind. Next time.

@simonzero3815 2 года назад

I own 14 fast Escorts, including a original mk1 Lotus, two Rs 1800 mk2's and even have a mk2 Rs2000 X pack. Unfortunately they are all 1/18 scale models but nevertheless I still love them all. Great viewing. More of the same please.

@shanewaller2864 3 года назад

I been to the ford heritage centre 3 times when it was at the old shed in Dagenham, I love the collection but I feel by changing to the new location it has now lost some of its charm .the old building had so much charm character and warm ,if you listened carefully you could still here the plant churning out anglias and cortinas .the old building had so much charisma it was like stepping back in time .I'm lucky to own a 1988 ford sierra cosworth and as a Dagenham born and breed lad ford has played a massive part in shaping my life and love of cars .

@calleskoga3572 2 года назад

I couldn´t see a MK I Transit in there, which i am pretty sure of is one of the most important cars for Ford UK... maybe it´s got it´s own museum. But the RS 1800 there is actually a replica... WTW567S was sold to a private person in 1978 or 79. I`m told that it reapeared again and was crashed by a racing driver so it hade to be reshelled again. That is often the lives of racing/rally cars to be reshelled but without it´s WIN # it´s only a replica. Anyway... Great cars and a thank´s for the upload.

They do have those cars too, but sadly not at this location. This is probably only half of the full collection!

@danwedderburn5550 2 года назад

This man knows nothing at all, walks past the most famous mk1 escort ever FEV 1H & calls it just a mexico. Then calls a Cosworth a Cosworf in red, not correctly Magenta red. More interested in how many miles they have done than anything else. Turned off after that, its a shame that someone is lucky enough to see these cars in the flesh, yet reports on them in such a poor uninformed manner.

@TheBackRoads 2 года назад

Perhaps that's why in the video we mention we have a dedicated piece on Hannu Mikkola's London to Mexico winning Escort. And apologies that we do not know exact paint name codes for every ford car produced, Stuart! Maybe next time.

@johnnyboy48rice44 2 года назад

@limjamrace 2 года назад

Why the big noise about the mileage?

@TheBackRoads 2 года назад

A couple of reasons I suppose, main one is that some are nice low mileage. But the second reason is that the majority of those miles are for reviews and content so the cars have actually been used how they should be. It's nice to have some valuable Fords that are driven as intended, would you agree?

@TheBackRoads 2 года назад

It's the correct pronunciation for Spanish and US audiences. We have a large US demographic on our channel so we adapt wording accordingly in some cases. However, if we're talking solely UK pronunciation, it's more like 'Pyoo-muh' as I feel like you're referring to in this case. In any case, it can be said either way. Thanks 👍
