FORD WITH A BRITISH accent? Not quite. But in 1931, Henry Ford bought a British estate, Boreham House in Essex, which dated to Henry VIII's time. Ford bought the property as part of his experiments to bolster British agricultural output.In 1937, the house became the Henry Ford Institute of Agricultural Engineering. Today, it's a training center affiliated with overseas Ford tractor operations.
