Ford in Britain the Early Years

Ford in Britain the Early Years

Ford Arrives in the UK

The Ford motor company first arrived in Britain in the same year as Ford was first founded in the United States (1903). Henry Ford had two model A cars shipped over from Detroit to Liverpool to showcase his new cars in the UK. Sending the cars to the UK achieved exactly what Henry Ford had wanted, he established the first Ford franchise in the UK.

The cars were shown at the Cordingley Automobile Exhibition in the fashionable London borough of Islington. At the show they caught the attention of Aubrey Blakiston who once he had thoroughly inspected the two type A Fords decided to set up the UKs first ever Ford dealer. The new franchise was based at Long Acre in London. Having set up the first UK based Ford dealer Blakiston realised he needed help and employed the mechanically minded Percy Perry. With Blakiston ailing Perry purchased the company and continued to run it. Times were hard with Fords? insistence all payments for stock be made up front, and the heavy cost of importing the cars from the US strong contributors to the financial problems.

Perry Sees the Potential in Ford and Persists

Despite the cash flow difficulties Perry could see the potential to make a profit from Ford automobiles in the UK and persisted with the business. Perry advertised for further investment to bolster the companies struggling finances. His advertisement was successful and with the new found financial strength he was able to purchase the Central Motor Company and move to larger premises in Westminster, London.

Ford Marketing Machine Fuels UK Expansion

In 1908 the Ford Model T made its debut at the 1907 Olympia Motor Exhibition the publicity from this generated more sales in the UK and with Ford now doing very well in the US a great deal more effort was invested into marketing Ford in the UK. The resulting success of this marketing meant that Percy Perry was able to persuade Henry Ford to set up a London Branch of the Ford Motor company. Ford purchased premises in Shaftsbury Avenue, London. Within a year Ford had sold over 400 cars in the UK.

The Ford Dealer Network is established

Perry keen to further build on the success his business was having in partnership with Ford began to establish a Ford dealer network across the UK. The first dealer was established in Southampton in late 1910 and operated by a Mr Percy Hendy. Perry began to build up the Ford dealer network across Britain opening dealerships in many UK towns and Cities including Manchester, Nottingham, Liverpool, Coventry and Leicester. As the dealership network expanded so did the demand placed upon Ford in London.

Ford UK Ltd is Born

With Ford London under an increasing amount of pressure due to the success of the newly formed Ford dealership network. Henry Ford decided to establish the first Ford factory outside of North America. The factory was to be located in Manchester in the North of England. Production at the factory was steady and the factory provided a welcome boast to the local economy. When the factory was first established the men worked on static benches but as time went buy the Manchester Ford Factory moved to the revolutionary moving production line, which is widely thought to be the first of its kind in the UK. This new method of production clearly had a big impact on factory production methods across the UK. The improvements to UK production techniques came just in time for the First World War where they were tested to the limit, as was Ford in the UK

Ford Delivers Value With Its 2008 Ford Taurus

17 November 2009 | No Comments » | admin

Ford has recently revealed its new 2008 Ford Taurus which is considered to be one of the most powerful, spacious, refined, and safest Taurus ever built by the American multinational corporation and manufacturer of quality Ford exhaust system.

The new Taurus will have a base manufacturer?s suggested retail price or MSRP of $23,995 including delivery and destination charges. This price is comparably lower than that of the Toyota Avalon and the Chrysler 300.

In the year 1985 nearly seven million Ford Taurus sedans were built and from then on it remains as one of the most recognized Ford vehicles names of all time. As a matter of fact, the Ford F-Series and Mustang are only trailing behind in popularity to the Taurus.

The new 2008 Ford Taurus sports a distinctive looked that is inspired by the highly successful Ford Fusion and Ford Edge. It also adopts the automaker?s powerful and refined 3.5 liter V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. It also features some of Ford?s most advanced safety technology which includes standard Safety Canopy? side curtain air bags. The new 2008 Ford Taurus will also be equipped with quality Ford auto components beginning with huge auto parts down to complex parts such as Ford exhaust which have been further improved to emission regulations.

The new 2008 For Taurus has been able to obtain five-star ratings in all categories in crash testing conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NHTSA.

The new 2008 Ford Taurus is to be offered in two trims series—the Taurus SEL and the Taurus Limited. The base price of the 2008 Ford Taurus SEL is $23,995 inclusive of destination and delivery charges. It is equipped with the optional Interior Convenience Package that includes a six-disc CD changer, wiper activated headlamps with auto on/off, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, 8-way power driver?s seat, and wood grain appearance totaling to a price of $24,890. This price is still low compared to the price of its competitors such as Toyota Avalon XL costing $27, 495 and Chrysler 300 Touring models priced at $29,635.

The new 2008 Ford Taurus also offers the best all-wheel-drive value in its segment with a manufacturer?s suggested retail price of $25,845. The only other vehicle in its competitive set to offer all-wheel drive is Chrysler 300 which has a price of $30,250.

The affordable price of the new 2008 Ford Taurus is actually one of the strategies of Ford in order to attract more customers. Aside from offering affordable price, the American multinational corporation also offers bold designs with brand new features plus more standard safety equipment as part of their strategy to create a long-term value for customers.

Basing on the Automotive Leasing Guide (ALG) data, the price strategy, so forth and so on implemented by Ford has greatly improved the resale value of Ford products at launch like for instance the projected 36-month resale value of the new Ford F-Series Super Duty is the highest of any full-size pickup truck. On the other hand the resale value of the 2008 Ford Escape has improved by 11 percent while the resale value of the 2007 Ford Expedition has improved by 9 percent.

The 2008 Ford Taurus was produced at Ford?s Chicago Assembly Plant. It is scheduled to hit dealership this summer. The pricing for the 2008 Ford Taurus X crossover which is also scheduled to for sale this summer is going to be announced before its launching.
