The Ford Fair is a must for motor enthusiasts.
IRELAND’S only car show dedicated to Fords will take place in Banna this weekend, September 7 and September 8.
Based at the popular Banna Beach Resort in the north of county and sponsored by local Ford dealers Kerry Motor Works, the two-day event will cater for all types of Blue Oval machinery from vintage and classic cars, modified and rally machinery and even tractors and modern Fords.
Ford has a long association with the south west of Ireland, company founder Henry Ford can trace his ancestors to West Cork, less than 150km from the fair venue and two years ago the company celebrated the 100th anniversary of the opening of its Cork City factory.
The fair is the brainchild of local motorsport enthusiast and resident DJ at the Banna Beach Resort, Ray Stack.
