These are great! I particularly liked the E series ones as I did not know a lot of this stuff. If Mark is here on the forums, thank you for this. They make a youtube companion to all the excellent brochures and pics DFB has posted up. Mark's insight, being there at FPV, Ford's marketing agency, and Holden (look forward to the modern Holden histories, too) gives him a unique insight to share.
Here's the whole playlist, it's superb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4IM...-KFhny8C9dvw1t I've been through most of the post classic and really like the love for the E series, I think Ford got the product absolutely right here, and had market leadership as a result. ED - Nailed it! Yes they really did. And EL is remembered fondly, a very good car. Thanks Mark!

And the Ford public relations sheet I have for the ED XR8 Sprint says that Watson engineering in Michigan built the motor, it was not a development of the EB GT which was hotted up by Tickford - mentioned in Gavin Farmers book I believe.
I still like the review of each model and it's life.
