Ford Model A Loan Car Project to be showcased in Hall 5-310
Many of us will have borrowed things from friends or family, but not many of us will have borrowed a classic car, from a stranger, for a whole year. That is just what happened through a pioneering project to encourage the next generation of enthusiasts into the classic vehicle community. Showcased on the Stewart Miller & Peter James Insurance stand in Hall 5, come and admire the beautiful Ford Model A Phaeton and meet Peter, Bob and Richard, who will be in attendance at points during the weekend to tell people more about this fantastic project.
