Having visited twenty locations all over the UK, the month-long Ford Centenary Tour will come to an end on Sunday 18 September at the historic Goodwood circuit as part of the Goodwood Revival. Proceedings will kick off on the Friday when Ford's chief financial officer, Lewis Booth, waves off over 100 Ford vehicles that are taking part in the largest-ever cavalcade at the West Sussex circuit.

The three-day event will feature stars from Ford's history including the Ford Anglia 105E used in the film "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"; the 1966 Le Mans 24-hour race-winning Ford GT Mk II; the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup rally-winning Ford Escort Mk I; and the 1912 all-Ford-race winner at Brooklands: the 1911 UK-built Ford Model T - "The Golden Ford."
In addition to the action at Goodwood there will also be a Ford exhibition in the 'Earls Court Motor show' area. Cars on show will include a 1960s Ford Corsair, a 1960s replica of Henry Ford's Quadricycle and the current generation of 'Blue-Oval' cars in the guise of the Ford Focus and Grand C-MAX.

Joe Greenwell, Ford of Britain chairman, said: "Ford is delighted to be at Goodwood Revival in such strength this year. The Ford Centenary Tour of the UK has been a great success and with an exciting range of Ford vehicles to be showcased at Goodwood, we're hoping to end our Ford of Britain Centenary celebrations with a bang!"
