Fast Fords

Classic & Sports Car – Fast Fords: inside the August 2023 issue of Classic & Sports Car

This month’s cover feature honours 60 years of hot Fords, Charlie Calderwood and Simon Hucknall the lucky people tasked with bringing their stories to you.

Starring the Lotus Cortina, Capri RS 3100, Sierra XR4i, Escort RS Cosworth and Focus ST170, there is surely something for everyone in our five Fast Fords – turn to p86 to get stuck in.


Forgotten Ferrari

Also in the August 2023 Classic & Sports CarMartin Buckley drives an early Maranello drop-top that’s not quite what it seems.

This Ferrari went back to its maker to have its roof removed and a punchy new V12 fitted, meaning there is nothing else like this Vignale-bodied beauty.


Boosted appeal

From p146 of our August 2023 issue, we have a paean to the BMW 2002 turbo, 50 years after the launch of Munich’s race-bred tearaway.

Join Richard Heseltine for a memorable drive.
