http://blog.roadandtrack.com/ford-of...00th-birthday/
On this day a century ago, Ford of Britain was founded.
Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903 and within months, had exported the first Ford cars to England. He established the first British Ford dealer, through a company based in Long Acre, London.
The UK quickly became the most important market for Ford cars, outside the United States.
By 1911, Henry had decided to start building cars in Britain. Ford Motor Company (England) Limited was incorporated in London on 8th March 1911 – the first Ford company to be established outside North America.
