The record attempt will be certified by the Guinness World of Records. In order to break the record for the Largest Ford Parade the participants will need to complete a 3.2km route with a continuous column of vehicles at no less than two car-lengths apart during the parade.
“Ford has a long and illustrious history in South Africa with many customers enjoying fond memories of the brand from years gone by. The record attempt is sure to be a very nostalgic affair as thousands of Fords from different eras come together in a unique display of Ford machinery,” adds Brent.
In addition to being part of a historic event, fans will be treated to a variety of activities that have been planned for the day. Team Ford Racing will display Ford’s on track abilities with a series of demonstration laps, sky divers, food stalls and a flea market area will provide ongoing entertainment throughout the day. There will also be a Show & Shine event, with the some of the best turned out Ford examples in the country on display. It is set to be a treat for all Ford enthusiasts and one not to be missed.
