Ford did a ‘backbone of Britain’ advert back in the 2000s, which was just the Ford Transit. 

Ford has also been promoting mental health in young males which is the demographic for the least likely age and gender to open up about mental health issues.

Of course, back in the 2000s, some Fords were actually still made in Britain.

Ye’, the U.K. plant in Southampton closed in 2013 I think. Ford siting that costs in Turkey were cheaper.

But the Ford Transit has been the mainstay of the U.K. since it’s inception in fact even earlier with the Thames 400E from 1957 to 1965 when the First Gen Ford Transit came about (Germany had the Taunus Transit from 1953 to 1965).
