Although the Ford Motor Company started manufacturing Model Ts in Britain in 1911, it wasn't till 1932 that they designed and built the Model Y specifically for Europe, In 1935 the company got the price of the car down to £100. (About £6700 or $8200 USD).

Presumably you copied and pasted that. You may have found there was an option to 'paste as plain text' which would be easier to read.

The Model Y was actually designed in Detroit. It may have been to test out some design ideas for the upcoming 1933 US models.

 

A neighbour of mine has a very early Model Y which is presumed to have been a prototype as it has many detail features which are nearer to the Model A than to the actual production Model Y. Apparently there were maybe 50 of these prototypes which were put out to test the market and most were supposed to have been returned and destroyed but this one escaped somehow.

Thank  you. I will watch for it as I never really understood why it pasted that way.
