A fan of fast Fords? Or slow ones, for that matter? Either way, if you’re big into the Blue Oval, then you’ll be interested in Ford’s new Heritage and Innovation Centre in the UK.

Just finished, it houses more than 100 vehicles, from a Model T, through multiple GT40s and a million-pound Escort, to all the best Cossies and RS Fords. Recently relocated from Dagenham to Daventry, it also provides access to a library containing brochures, owners’ manuals and advertising materials from Ford’s UK history.

So, before it opens to the public, join Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford for a tour of 100-plus years of Ford history in Britain.
