3 Litre Lion engine was designed by Peugeot, but developed and produced by Ford UK for Ford and PSA. Platform sharing like this is common in Europe.
It was designed by Jaguar and Land Rover(both Ford companies at the time) in collaboration with Peugeot. Not just by Peugeot.
Yes the design is the "Lion" reference to Peugeot. They designed the intial engine, Ford UK and then Jaguar( owned by Ford at the time but not part of Ford as such) did the development. Peugeot is developing the engine maybe for their Pickup, it was last used by them in the last Paris to Dakar race.
Nope, it was designed with collaboration of all three. Anyone who worked for Jaguar and Land Rover at that time were Ford Motor Company employees so......
Lion is the Peugeot moniker and the design of the engine belongs with them.
