Ford History in the UK

Ford of Britain entered its 99th year and the company's historical fleet is celebrating its own milestone ? securing the 100th vehicle. The new Ford Focus RS, launched to critical acclaim during 2009, is the latest addition to the Essex-based Ford Heritage Collection. The Focus RS will join such icons as the original 1970 London to Mexico winning Escort, one of only seven GT70 cars ever built and Sir Jackie Stewart's 1970 March 701, in which he won the Spanish grand prix. The Collection also includes many fine examples of standard road cars.
