Ford has been part of the car landscape in the UK since the dawn of motoring with the Model T assembled in Manchester being the best selling car in Britain before war broke out in 1914.
The building of Dagenham was a colossal enterprise and for the last seventy years Ford models have never been far from the top of the sales charts. Anglias, Escorts, Fiestas, Cortinas, Sierras, Mondeos and Focuses have provided affordable, reliable and comfortable motoring for millions and millions of people.
On June 4th Great British Car Journey celebrates all the products of the Blue Oval in a Fiesta of Fords.
