Those 2000 jobs will shortly go down…Back in the day, the wise always sought-out German-made Fords in preference to the Dagenham Dustbins.
Ask any Ford dealer old enough to remember…there were always more warranty claims on UK-made Fords than German ones.
Not one of the car-makers active in the UK has said anything about Brexit other than its a bad idea. The component manufacturers take an even dimmer view of it.
As I remember it ‘back in the day’ growing up around the motor trade no one with any sense would have wanted fwd junk like the Taunus in preference to Cortina/Zodiac/Capri/Classic even if they could have found one to buy.On that note exactly where and when was the Taunus ever sold together with UK Fords like Cortina Mk1 and 2 etc on the UK market at UK dealerships.
As for Dagenham dustbins yeah right.I’ll swap you this.

Let’s get this right your sole case for the EU takeover of our country is that Brits aren’t bright enough to deserve to keep it.
