Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa is the South African arm of Ford, run from Pretoria and fully owned by the parent group. Its assembly plant at Silverton, near Pretoria, opened in the late 1960s and has made a range of Ford vehicles for the local market. Around 2002 the plant also assembled Land Rover Freelanders for local distribution, which is why it appears in this atlas as a builder of Freelander model years, apart from Land Rover Limited as the marque holder.
