Does anybody know how the cars get to the UK?

What mode of travel is used to transport them? I am told they end up in Dagenham when Ford import to.

Most other Fords are shipped in via Southampton or Bristol. Not sure if it's the same for the B-Max but I'm going to guess they won't change ports just for the one car?

Do you have any idea of the route? You say 'shipped', do you actually mean by ship?

I am just curious seeing as how Romania is landlocked and the question came up in conversation last night.

Yes the others arrive on a ship. This is a total guess but I would say train through Europe to their port invlissingen then onto the UK via a ship to Southampton or Bristol.

Might ask in my dealers next time I'm there!

Yes you are right and so was I in thinking of Dagenham:

Thanks for that link, good to know! No idea where I got Bristol etc. from but I'm sure I read it somewhere

The B max is getting shipped in to Dagenham i Started to see them trickle into the car park lots from the ferry with the rest of the cars ready to be transported by train or transporter.
