MF: TWR was a great business, but Tom also owned Arrows, the Formula 1 team, and they were struggling. We were lending money across from TWR and when Arrows failed, those debts became worthless and brought down TWR, too. Ford contacted me and I went to Cologne to see a guy called John Fleming, who was VP of manufacturing but had been my plant manager at Halewood. I became European quality director, and although I’m not taking the credit, we were building amazingly high-quality cars in Europe at the time. We were constantly benchmarking ourselves, and it was probably only Honda at a comparable level.
