  • Ford pulled out of Ireland around 1985 and left behind an amazing plant that the people of Cork have turned into a massive market. Last week they brought in a lot of old Ford cars and Tractors that had been built in Cork before the plant closed and I got to chat with some of the current owners

    I left Cork in the late 70s. This video has brought back so many memories for me. Thank you, Bob

    It nice to people doing something good with existing stuff. Rather than tearing it down, just to build another DIY outlet.

    Great Video Bob, That looks like a great place to visit, by the people for the people. Douglas Adams would like the MkII Escort's number plate (the meaning of LIFF).

    Very interesting video I owned a ford anglia a escort a capri and the last ford I owned was a cortina 1600 E a beautiful car the capri was stolen back in the late 70ts when I bought the cortina I fitted what would have been the first version of a immobiliser a switch hidden in the ashtray a lot of them were stolen back then in the UK that was the last ford I owned they don't make them like that anymore
