New Competition Manager for Ford

Henry Taylor, for three years captain of the British Ford Rally Team, has relinquished the driving seat in favour of a more sedate chair. In October he becomes Ford’s Competition Manager in Place of Alan Platt who has been promoted in the Export Division. Bill Barnett becomes deputy Competition Manager.

During Alan Plait’s period at the helm, the Cortina won more than 300 major events in 25 different countries, and, with Sir John Whitmore’s latest victory, has become champion of Europe.
