Yeah I used to have a Sapphire 2000E (on a YAR plate) that was an ex ford company car. It had the round 'no manufacturers warranty' tag, and had also had a new engine fitted by ford in the first 18 months of its life!

Frog - it may simply be that it was registered in the same area as the ford cars... The first owner will be listed as Ford Motor Company LTD
