Ford car sales beat the downward market trend in June and again boosted its UK leadership with increased sales and share, compared with June 2010.

The all-new Focus estate which has joined the Focus five-door, is set to be a popular choice among British customers with 2,000 orders already confirmed.

Ford’s all-new Ford C-MAX and Grand C-MAX are surpassing sales expectations, recording more than 100,000 sales and orders since their launch in late 2010.

Since the introduction of the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine in late 2010, Ford’s Bridgend Engine Plant in the UK has been working flat out to meet customer demand.
