Apparently, Ford’s UK arm has considered this as being a possibility, which is why the carmaker’s latest servicing campaign offers a 10,000 refurbish as a grand prize. The company has initiated a servicing project that targets the pre-2008 Ford vehicles in Great Britain.
In an effort to attract out-of-warranty vehicles to dealers, Ford is offering a free 29-point Visual Health Check at any of its authorized repairer or Rapid Fit center. This includes inspection of the wheels and tires, electrical systems, fluids, brakes, steering and exhaust.
In addition to that, owners can enter their vehicles in a competition to win the aforementioned refurbishing. After receiving the free check, owners can submit a photo together with an explanation as to why their Ford vehicle should receive the makeover. The winner will be chosen by Ford WRC driver and classic Ford fan Mikko Hirvonen.
The owners who will have their vehicles serviced as a result of the free inspection will be entered into another draw, which will see five winners receive their money back up to 1,000 pounds.
"Over 43,000 new Fords took to the road as part of the scrappage scheme but there are still millions of happy owners driving older Fords. To them we are offering this free check to help maintain the reliability they've come to expect from their Ford."
