Ford V8 Pilot.
Ford's V8 Pilot had a 3.6 litre flathead V8 engine. This example seen in Nantwich was built in 1951 and was first seen in 1947. It marked Ford of Britain's return to making larger vehicles post-war. It had a column gearshift and 6 volt electrics. This '51 car is a late example as it was in this year that the replacement Zephyr model hit the streets.

Picture showing a classic Ford, one of 135 images in this set.
- The V8 Pilot, built by Ford.
- First built/registered in the 1950s.
- Finished in: Black.
Several thousand photos feature in the various galleries here at oldclassiccar. If you're interested in Fords, whether just the V8 Pilot shown here, or other models in addition to V8 Pilots, then it is worth looking at the other photos in this set of 135 motoring images, and also on the main photos page where details of all the image collections are held.
Most of the photographs in this set were taken during 2007, either at shows, road runs or in museums. A small number were also sent over to me by visitors to this site, for which I'm very grateful. If you have a photograph that you've taken, showing a vehicle that doesn't yet feature on this site, it'd be great to see it. If you own an example of Ford V8 Pilot and would like to see it featured in the Your Cars elsewhere on the site, then by all means get in touch too!
