Though very different to drive, all of our assembled Blue Oval legends demonstrate Fordʼs ability to combine bang-for-your-buck performance with of-the-moment style. But Dagenham has never been in the business of producing cars that are difficult to own or use, either, and all of our quintet remain easy to drive and live with on a day-to-day basis. Each was based on a mainstream model, which proved crucial to both their affordability and practicality. By producing sporting versions that could be used as everyday family cars, too, Ford made sure that enthusiasts didnʼt have to surrender their automotive ambitions when the white stork arrived, and nor were they limited to those who could afford to run multiple cars.
