The basis of the strategy was the centralization of Ford�s European activities in England and the formation of a new company, Ford Motor Company Limited to serve this purpose.

Built at the then immense cost of �5 million, the new Dagenham plant built its first vehicle, a Model AA truck, on 1 October 1931. -

On October 1, 1908, the first production Model T Ford is completed at the company’s Piquette Avenue plant in Detroit. Between 1908 and 1927, Ford would build some 15 million Model T cars. It was the longest production run of any automobile model in history until the Volkswagen Beetle surpassed it in 1972.
