Yeah, I am under the impression that Ford was out of the Spanish market from the 1930s until Fiesta production started in 1976. In Portugal that actually had a Ford plant until about 1994.
Welcome aboard Andy from a fellow Londoner. Unfortunately I still live here in the cold and damp! A Mk1 Lotus Cortina was my dream car when I was a kid but my dad could only afford a 1200 Deluxe. Now they are out of my price range unless the lottery is good to me.
