For more than a century, Ford has manufactured vehicles in Britain, at its peak rolling more than 3,000 cars a day off its production lines

Actually the UK car industry is doing really well, they built 1.6million cars last year and its growing every year with significant government investment. It is predicted they will overtake France eventually.

Sad about the Transit, I will always associate Transit with the UK.
