Ford starts scrap today
May 19th, 2009 by Richard Aucock
FORD will tomorrow start delivering cars under the scrappage scheme, after finally resolving issues.
Yesterday, we reported that Ford had suspended deliveries of cars, due to ‘outstanding’ issues in a number of areas.
The UK’s largest car brand was seeking urgent clarification with Government over these details.
Now, it seems they’ve finally been cleared up, to the brand’s satisfaction.
Nigel Sharp, Ford Britain MD, said: ‘Ford is putting its full weight behind the UK vehicle scrappage scheme, which will not only boost sales, but will also bring positive employment and environmental benefits, too.
‘Ford’s substantial backing of subsidised vehicle scrapping helps to secure the 100,000 auto industry jobs in the UK dependant on our company, dealerships and suppliers.’
Which will be a relief to everyone concerned!
Now, it seems, £7995 Fiestas and £9995 Focus can finally be delivered…
‘Unprecedented demand’ at car dealers
