While the mid-engined big-bangers were out at Le Mans swatting the Italians into place, fleets of loyal Anglias, Cortinas and more were bumbling about the British Isles doing the bidding of average Joe. It’s the mark of a name that’s a Jack of all trades.
We enjoyed the juxtaposition of comparing Fiesta Mk8 to its Anglia ancestor, then going out to catch a GT40 spitting flames and pirouetting through a haze of freshly layn deluge. Of course, there was a whiff of Ford’s rather more exciting presence on today’s roads in the form of a stunning blue Mustang Convertible.
