But last week 212 poor bastards are made redundant, new car sales have dropped, yet they want to reproduce parts they made 40+ years ago for, let's face it, a small market.

Like I said, I hope I'm wrong. Really hope I'm wrong.

I don't believe Ford will be making them. Simply giving access to tooling and blueprints, and endorsing the product as a genuine part. It's a win-win for everyone. We get better fitting repro parts, and Ford will get a cut out of it too, by allowing their official logos and part numbers etc, thus making parts concourse correct for the fussy ones amongst us.
This has been the case in America with Mustang parts. I'm guessing it will be the same scenario here.
