FAST FORDS
50 years up close and personal with Ford's finest.
In this latest book by Jeremy Walton he recalls his experiences of driving many of Ford's performance vehicles from Fiesta to GT40, via V8 Supervans and America's Mustangs and Thunderbirds.
He also found time to drive and write about other makes powered by Ford engines, including Lotus, TVR and Morgan, plus a bonkers Ford Twin Cam powered DAF rallycross car.
“Written with first hand knowledge of driving these fantastic cars, well presented with plenty of imagery.”
Auto Express, 27 March 2024
“A cheerful cross between an insider memoir and a history of go-faster Fords, it’s a fun read.”
Motor Sport, May 2024
“This is a hugely entertaining book, written by someone who really has been there and done that.”
Absolute Lotus, Issue 11
“Jeremy Walton’s words flow across the 400 pages with a composite and compact blend of authority, knowledge and humour. So entertained was yours truly, I read the complete book in one sitting.”
Retro-Speed (online), Peter Baker, March 2024
"All in all this book provides a very interesting view in considerable depth of one company's policy and history for the development of high performance and competition cars over a considerable period as seen by a sometime insider."
James Loveridge, The Society of Automotive Historians website
"Walton tells the story of fast Fords from the days of hot-rodded Angias through to the latest Focus RSs, revealing Ford's long relationship with tuners."
