Ford - Dealer Training - Planning Your Sales - Know Your Town (1990)

[@marymoffatt2060]

Shame, when I worked at a Ford main dealer in the 70's and early 80's Ford had it all; fleets couldn't get enough, RS2000, Granada and Capri's made BL and Vauxhall look stodgy. Then Ford did two things: spent £60 million on the VV carb (a complete turkey) and then came up with the Sierra, which I hoped on first sight would grow on me, until I realised my first impression was the right one. Combine that with the huge increase in BMWs' popularity with the facelift 3 series and Peugeot launching the 205 and 405 and Fords glory days were over, the Ultima being the final insult.

No it looks like they were with in internet memory still an old page with their opening times, If it was may be they would have switched from Ford or be planning to with Fords UK decline. Mark Forrest & CO sheds still going strong. WALTER FORSHAW LTD has gone bust
