Ford of Europe V engines

[pgarside@acorn.co.uk (Paul Garside)]

There has been a lot of loose talk about Ford of Europe V engines recently,
so I would like to try to straighten this out. 

There are two distinct families of engines, with little in common - one
developed in Britain, the other in Germany. The german ones are smaller and
lighter than the British.  The British engines were not used in German
factories, and the German ones not in the UK, although latterly they were
sold in the UK in FoG-built Granadas and Capris. This is all from memory, so
some minor details may be wrong:
