The ‘Storm' and Crushed Velour interior in Shark Grey environment colour is immaculate and free from tears. rips or discolouration. although the drivers seat base material is slightly loose. The Shark Grey loop pile carpet is spotless and retains its fullness. as does the Grey Mylar sidewall and rear quarter finishers. All switchgear is functional and intact. and the soft finish dashboard with red surround is perfect. The original trimmed parcel shelf is intact. straight and complete with the correct rubber hangers. A delightfully period 1980's sports hatch interior. reminiscent of Fords glory days.

The time proven transverse mounted 1600 OHV engine with Weber twin-venturi carburettor develops an ample 84BHP in such a lightweight and nimble car. achieving a top speed of 105mph and 0-60 in just 9. 3 seconds. The standard specification automatic choke and electronic ignition are both present and correct. and operate perfectly. The four speed synchromesh gearbox with remote shift is light and exact. a joy to use.

Special ‘pepperpot' 13” X 6” alloys wheel with ultra low profile 185/60HR13 tyres still adorn the car and are in pristine condition. A matching spare alloy wheel sits in the spare wheel housing which incorporates the correct ‘bulged' rear lower valance designed to accommodate the enlarged alloy wheel compared with lower Fiesta models.

The dual line servo assisted brakes with ventilated 9. 4” front discs and 7. 0” rear drums bring the car up to a steady. straight and assured halt.
