The Ford Mondeo will be twenty years old in November, and to celebrate this Ford has released a video narrated by Ray Winstone which chronicles the car's history.
Normally we wouldn't waste your time by showing you a dull promotional video from a car manufacturer; however, the Mondeo video earns an honourable mention for three very good reasons.
The first of these is that, unlike most promotional videos, this one doesn't descend (too often) into vomit-inducing self-promotion, instead providing a relatively balanced potted history of the car.
Secondly, Winstone is a perfect choice for the voiceover, having links with Ford through last year's Sweeney film, which featured a Focus ST. Plus, it's amusing hearing an esteemed actor talking about '1996 facelifts' and 'standard airbags' all the while desperately trying to sound like they give even the first crap.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, about 27 seconds in there's an amusing segment in which a 1993-spec Jeremy Clarkson talks earnestly about how the Mondeo is "probably the best in class."
So, click on the image below to watch the video and bask in six minutes of Ford D-segment goodness.
Then, for balance, head on over to our article explaining why the Mondeo is probably doomed.
