Any old promotor drivers around

One incident well remembered took place during development of the ford Fiesta. Pre production models were regularly being shipped to Germany for wind tunnel testing etc. One car arrived back in the UK to be unloaded at Dunton Green for collection by Fords own transport. On unloading and parking in the warehouse/workshop it was found to be complete with a full size crash test dummy. Somebody thought the dummy should be enhanced so a ‘meat and two veg’ was duly constructed out of fibreglass and placed in position. It really was a beauty, fully detailed with all veins and wrinkles etc and left the dummy very well endowed. The ford flatback eventually arrived to pick up said car and was crewed by two extremely young and very pretty girls. The workshop suddenly seemed very deserted but fortunately the girls saw the funny side of it, there were laughs all round and one of them even asked if it was modelled on somebody we could put her in contact with!!
