I really doubt it, I imagine they could still do you for it.
Copywrite law is a bitch. I get pounded about it at Uni by our lectures telling us to take our own pictures (I know not logos, however I doubt the law differentiates alot) because if we use someone else's, its not uncommon for them to demand any amount of money for stealing their imagine. If they do, you virtually have no leg to stand on.
I suppose you could e-mail Ford and ask for their permission, I would of thought an e-mail back granting you access would be sufficient.
Just don't risk it, always make sure you have permission.

It has a lot to do with whether you are seen to be making money from it or not. 
If you are just using their logo on a website that is seen to be promoting them, or perhaps you've done some work for them and are using their logo to show who you've worked for, then it's usually fine.
If however, you are using it to make money for yourself, then you need to ask permission to use the logo. It's likely they would want a percentage from you, or it will be a flat no.

Then I would ultimately own the copyright to the photograph and therefore should be allowed to use it wherever I want - including on a website. |
Technically yes, you should be able to use it without an issue...at the end of the day by having your photo of a Ford car on your website, you are promoting their product.  |
It really does depend on the context of the promotion.
Ford can be quite hot on this (as Marmalade's mate found out) because they are one of the few that operate a network of non franchised, but approved, service centres.
For this reason, they don't want any Tom, Dick or Harry setting themselves up as Ford specialists, or not to the extent where they use things like logos as part of their promotional material; I've even known Ford owners clubs fall foul of this policy.
There is a limit to what they can copyright, but I don't know how far that extends; an old favourite used to be to use the blue oval, but with the Ford script in a completely different font, but I don't know how legal that is.

The originals are ok, those he's using have been stolen from my web site or ebay sometime in the past

Don't think he'd win an argument there's not a lot of claiming it isn't this pic.
Just annoying that I bother to take pics when i'm working and they can't be arsed and steal other peoples.
They were taken at a show day at Croft

OK? Maybe.
Legal? Probably not.
The "maybe" entirely depends on the profile of your site, your use of the trade mark, and whether it's worth their while to deploy a vampire-assassin to eat your liver.
If you want a better answer, give us more information, or pay a lawyer to give you the answer I've just given, only with more caveats and disclaimers.
