Mazda to Sell Ford-Built Car in Europe: The auto maker said it reached an agreement with Ford Motor Co. to sell a small car based on the Ford Fiesta. Mazda Motor Corp., which is 25%-owned by Ford, will buy about 25,000 of the cars annually and sell them through its European dealerships starting in the spring of 1996. After dropping a plan to set up its own production facility in Europe, Mazda said in October that it was in the final stages of negotiations to buy Ford-made cars in Europe. The vehicle will have Ford engineering and Mazda styling.
