Now in its third year, Dealer Drive, sponsored by Experian, will be held on 24 May at the Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire.

Visitors will be able to test drive the latest products from several brands around the venue's hill route and high speed bowl.

Ford is using the event to kick off its national dealer recruitment drive and will also unveil the third-generation Mondeo several weeks ahead of it reaching showrooms.

“We're putting a lot of resources into recruiting rural dealers and Dealer Drive will be the kick off,” said Stuart West, Ford's manager of market representation.

Other manufacturers at the event include Fiat, Citroen, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Chevrolet, Proton, Hyundai, Subaru, Isuzu, Daihatsu and LDV.

The exhibition centre will also host stands from Gardx, Autoprotect, EurotaxGlass's, Carlyle Finance, Howes Percival, Eight Technology, Wayland Developments and Xpart.
