Car A: Mk2 Fiesta
Owner: Dan Thorne
Featured: November 2024
Race-spec ST170, sequential ’box and a colour inspired by a kitchen knife… Dan’s 2024 Great Unveiling reveal is a Mk2 unlike any other.
Car B: Mk5 Escort
Owner: Stephen Gibson
Featured: January 2025
The Monte Carlo is already rare, Gibby’s Cossie even more so. As one of Ford’s prototypes with plenty of unique features, it’s truly unique and jaw-dropping.
Car C: Mk2 Orion
Owner: Michael Gates
Featured: July 2025
Think Orion Equipe, only if Ford’s SVE gurus had put their mark all over it — 2-litre Zetec, OE-style BBS rims and a whole lot more.
Car D: Mk2 Escort Van
Owner: Greg Caton
Featured: September 2025
Mk2 vans shouldn’t look this good, or go this well for that matter, but Greg of G-Cat Racing’s Escort is a BDG-powered beauty.
Car E: Mk5 Cortina
Owner: Tony Taylor
Featured: June 2025
The Mk4 wings and Peugeot steels keep you guessing, while the specced ST170 and superb interior keep you coming back for more of this restomod Mk5.
Car F: Mk2 Escort
Owner: Tony Stacey
Featured: November 2024
If Tony could save all the Mexicos he would, and his latest Great Unveiling, restored by Panelcraft, has resulted in one of the best.
Car G: Mk2 Capri
Owner: Andrew Sygrove
Featured: January 2025
Andrew had no intention of restoring a Capri, but all that changed after taking on this mega-rare 1977 1.6L.
Car H: Mk2 Granada
Owner: Mark Lane
Featured: November 2024
Known as the ‘2JZ Granada’ Mark’s Mk2 has racked up a whole host of awards since it first broke cover at the Great Unveiling.
Car I: Mk1 Escort
Owner: Dave Simms
Featured: July 2025
The first cover car when this mag launched back in 1997, Dave’s spent decades returning it to its factory fresh glory in stunning Electric Monza Blue.
Car J: Mk3 Fiesta
Owner: Scott Shepherd, Rob Ransom
Featured: Spring 2025
It may have started out as a base model, but thanks to a clever, subtle injection of power this Mk3 has become the perfect sleeper.
Car K: Mk1 Escort
Owner: Mike Wilson
Featured: November 2024
The ultimate built-not-bought Mk1 Escort? Thanks to a homebrewed 2.5-litre Duratec, total shell rebuild and unique tweaks, Mike’s Great Unveiling Mk1 surely is.
Car L: Mk3 Fiesta
Owner: Andrew Arminger
Featured: March 2025
The classic RS Turbo, only updated for the 2020s. Andrew’s longterm project is a lesson in sticking with one classic Ford and steadily making it better.
