For 2025, FordFest is rolling out the red carpet by celebrating the anniversaries of the Sierra Cosworth, Mk2 & Mk3 Escorts, the Focus ST and the Transit in four dedicated anniversary displays.
40 years of the Sierra Cosworth
To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Ford Sierra Cosworth, we’re thrilled to showcase 40 of the UK’s finest Cossies in a spectacular display! This incredible lineup will feature a diverse array of models, including both 2- and 4-wheel drive Sapphires, iconic 3-door versions, and even a few rare RS500s. Each car represents a unique piece of automotive history, making this display a must-see for every Sierra enthusiast. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the scene, there will be something to excite every Cossie lover. Join us for this unforgettable celebration of Ford’s legendary performance icon!
Mk2 & Mk3 Escort Anniversary Display
It’s a rear versus front-wheel-drive showdown as FordFest showcases 50 years of the Mk2 and 45 years of the Mk3. Incredibly, Ford’s Escort celebrates two major anniversaries in 2025, 50 years of the Mk2, and 45 years of the Mk3, and at FordFest, we’ll be marking the occasions with a specially-curated display featuring examples of both from across the scene.
With the Mk2 as the last-generation, and arguably the best, of the rear-wheel-drive versions that saw out the 1970s, and the Mk3 introducing front-wheel-drive to the platform, the display will showcase the Escort arguably at its peak. And with the Escort’s iconic status as a bona fide motorsport legend, too, expect incredible examples from the worlds of racing and rallying, plus superbly-restored examples of RS variants, top-spec Mk2s and Mk3s from the world of modified classics, and a few unusual versions you might not have seen before!
20 Years of the Ford Focus ST
Believe it or not, it’s been 20 years since Ford first revealed the Focus ST. While Ford did release the Mk1 Focus ST170 before this, many enthusiasts consider the Mk2 to be the first true ST. So to celebrate it’s 20th birthday, and to mark the end of the Focus ST production as Ford ceases the model at the end of 2025, we’re curating a special anniversary display for the Mk2 Focus ST, bringing together some of the best examples in the UK for one last hoorah.
Ford Transit 60th Anniversary Display
Join us in celebrating this major milestone for Ford’s ‘Backbone Of Britain’ at FordFest 2025. Over the years derivatives have become rally barges, motor-homes, four-wheel-drive load luggers, crew buses, flat beds, riot vans, mobile libraries, pop group transport, executive transport and more… The original Transit was not only bigger, better, faster and more versatile than any other such van on the market in Europe, but it was also fun to drive, and we’ll be celebrating the model’s 60th birthday with a special display of classic models at FordFest.
