Best Modified Fords On Display At Ford Fair 2024

With Ford Fair 2024 right around the corner, we’ve picked out some of the best modified Fords that will be on the Fast Ford display at Silverstone.

Adam Pope’s Fiesta Mk3 RS turbo

We doubt this car needs any introduction, after all, it’s been shared around social media more times than an Only Fans model. It is of course Adam Pope’s incredible RS Turbo. This little Mk3 Fiesta has been featured twice on Fast Ford magazine, with its latest update featuring a 335bhp ZVH engine, complete with a gnarly looking Owen Developments GT3071HTA turbocharger.

It’s not all about the engine, either. It’s got the chassis to match the performance thanks to a Clubsport inspiration. Inside you’ll find a roll cage, harnesses, fire extinguishers and more. Or less. Well, less is certainly more here.

Make sure you snap some shots of Adam’s Fiesta RS Turbo at Ford Fair on Sunday, August 11th, it truly is one of the best modified Fords in the scene right now! You can check out the full feature on the Mk3 Fiesta right here.

John Easton’s Mk2 Focus ST

Phwoar, now this is a bit of old school right here. No, not that old school, you’re forgetting it’s 2024, not 2014… Back in the ’90s and early 00s, Lamborghini doors (or scissor doors, whichever you prefer) were the in-trend thing. It didn’t matter that you didn’t have the Raging Bull on the bonnet, these were fitted to Novas, 205s, Saxos, pretty much anything. Then one day, all of a sudden, they were no longer cool. Maybe it was Pimp My Ride that saw its decline? Whatever it was, John decided enough was enough, and brought a flavour of the ’90s to 2024 with his Mk2 Focus ST.

Merging retro styling with your typical modern day Ford tuning, the combined package is a 330bhp hot hatch that can sit on the ground at the push of a button and ooze coolness. Different is an understatement. And for all you lot saying “we’re bored of seeing the same Mk2 ST and RS Focuses at Ford Fair”, well John’s sticking his middle finger up in the name of individualism. Kudos John, we love it!

James Edge’s X-Pack Mk2 Escort F20C

If the last car wasn’t old school enough for you, then this one certainly will be. Except if you’re a purist, you might want to look away now. If there’s one thing we love at Fast Car, it’s a car with an engine swap that really shouldn’t be there.

You see what James has done here is combined one of the world’s greatest naturally-aspirated engines of all time, the F20C from the Honda S2000, and shoved it straight under the bonnet of his Mk2 Escort. And as if the standard 240hp wasn’t enough from the F20C, he then decided to turbocharge it. For someone like James, though, who’s confessed to having owned over 150 modified cars over the years, this isn’t out of the ordinary. He’s a proper car enthusiast.

Peak inside and you’ll spot Bride seats, which for many JDM enthusiasts is enough to make them weak at the knees. Then you only have to glance over the bodywork to spot the carbon fibre additions. Chassis-wise it has a custom suspension setup comprising of Gaz coilvoers and Hallscorts rear leaf springs with adjustable top mounts. And when it comes to slowing down, AP 4-pot calipers do the job perfectly. If you want to dive into more details on this car, then check out James’s Mk2 Escort feature here.

While Ford was busy bringing back the Capri as an electric car, James was showing the world what can be done when you revive an old Ford correctly. And yes, that includes the Japanese engine too! Don’t miss seeing one of the best modified Fords in the UK at Silverstone this August 11th.

Geraint James’ Mk7 Fiesta ST

“Oh god, is that a Mk7 Fiesta ST on air, another original build then”. Shhh. When you hear the story about the life this Mk7 Fiesta ST has had, then you might think twice about saying that statement again. While it’s no lie that the current top modifying trend is air ride and some cool wheels, this Fiesta ST goes far beyond that. What started life as essentially a back-road hair-raiser, has blossomed into a clean show car build. It’s lived a hard life, but under Geraint’s ownership, has shown its tender side, perfectly highlighting that the Fiesta ST can indeed do it all. Oh, don’t think Geraint doesn’t let things get a little spicy behind the wheel, after all, it’s still got 250bhp on tap…

More modified Fords on the Fast Ford stand

Fast Ford editor Dan Bevis has put together an awesome mix of cars for the show. While we’ve selected some of the best modified Fords above, we thought we chuck some honourable mentions down below. Don’t forget, Ford Fair 2024 is a sell-out event. That means there’ll be over 3000 cars on display, with busy track sessions throughout the day. If you haven’t already secured your public ticket, then now’s your chance!
