Classic Ford Fairlane for Sale in Egypt: A Former Police Car
A classic Ford Fairlane with a unique police history is offered for sale in Egypt, having served in Gharbia during the 1960s. The car was sold at a public auction in the 1980s and later underwent a three-year restoration completed before its current listing. It's available for viewing in New Cairo, making it a rare find for enthusiasts of vintage police vehicles.
A rare classic Ford Fairlane is now listed for sale in Egypt, a vehicle with a remarkable past as part of the Gharbia police fleet back in the 1960s. The car is available for inspection in New Cairo, having undergone a full maintenance pass before hitting the market.
Ford Fairlane's Egyptian Legacy
This particular unit arrived in Egypt during the sixties to serve with the police force, its color switched from brown to black to comply with official standards at the time. It carried the number 149 and patrolled the roads of Gharbia — a truly unique piece for classic car collectors in the Egyptian market.
Fast forward to the eighties, the car was sold off through a public auction held by the Ministry of Interior, landing in the hands of a food trader in Menoufia for just 1,300 EGP. Officials confirmed back then that it was in good working condition, and it subsequently passed through several owners within the province.
The Restoration Journey
Years later, the car resurfaced in a garage in Cairo, where the current owner discovered it in 2020. The full restoration process took three years, bringing it back to its original condition before it was put up for sale this year.
The Ford Fairlane sits alongside other classic Ford Mondeo and Ford Fusion models in Egyptian automotive history. This classic offering holds a unique appeal for those who value the storied past of police vehicles in the region.
