I posted Ford car production from 1979-1992 a while back, which you can see by clicking here. I have now found data for the previous eleven years.
The Capri came and went in this time, proving to be a popular car for a niche segment.
The Granada / Consul didn't last long in UK production as it was soon transferred to Germany. I presume numbers didn't justify two plants making them.
The MK IV Zephyr / Zodiac was not that popular looking at those production numbers (I had a nice Dinky car of the latter though), and the Corsair was on the way out by the late 60's. Just over 300,000 in total were made of the latter.
