PARTICIPANTS at this year’s Simply Ford event, held in the grounds of the National Motor Museum in the New Forest on May 5, enjoyed the first hot weekend of the year with clear blue skies and day-long sunshine. The event is now in its fourth year and a firm fixture on the Beaulieu calendar.

More than 1,400 people joined the event with 700 Ford cars, from early models to custom and modern classics, on display in the Beaulieu parkland.
