[Dartskipper]

Fords weren't any better. Around the time the V4 Corsair was launched, a schoolmate got his Dad to visit us in a brand new demonstrator.(His Dad was Stores manager at Reynolds of Dagenham.) My Dad had a 1960 Zephyr MKII at the time. My mate's Dad came in for a chat and a cuppa, and then invited Dad to have a look at this brand new marvel of the Dagenham factory. Dad wandered up to it, and without thinking opened the driver's door and sat in. My mate's Dad was puzzled to say the least, as he still had his keys in his pocket. It turned out that the keys my Dad had been given when he bought his Zephyr fitted almost every Ford on the road. The door key did look a bit worn, so it didn't reflect well on Ford's security in the 1960's.
