PICs Ford Pilot the real thing ……..

The Ford V8 Pilot was Britain's last Ford V8 and like so many British built cars of it's day, was a Post-War facelift of a Pre-war design. Apart from new frontal styling the body was that of a Ford Model 62 produced at Dagenham, Essex in the mid 1930's for the UK market.

Between the bumpers is 1.5 tons of Dagenham durability. This unfortunately, made them ideal stock cars and this racing activity had taken its toll by the end of the '60's.

22,189 saloons were built with a further 2,500 plus as vans, estates and pick-ups.

The following images are of a pick-up:
