Well,
The English in England think Ford is a British Company - if it's made within
the boarder it's British - damit.. ;) Mind you the Britt's have never
extended this to Nissan... not sure why...
As far as an American Jag, well, you know, the few Ford Europe Employees I
know see Ford as a US company because they are owned by one, but other wise
they couldn't tell you a Windstar from a Lumina... Ever seen a Taurus in
Swindon? I don't think so!
