In very original and unspoiled condition, this Mk1 Fiesta is a rare find.

The Oyster Gold paintwork has plenty of patina, and the interior is in superb condition, with the seat facings having been recovered very recently and front seats re plumped with new foams at a cost in excess of £1000 we understand. The material is a very close match to the original Houndstooth style which had perished over time. The interior also boasts a central console with radio (untested).

We believe the Fiesta was originally registered in Guernsey before being registered on the mainland in 1999.

The low mileage of 47k miles would appear to be correct looking at the previous MOT certificates on file, although there is an anomaly in 2009 when the mileage was stated as 444805 miles at the time of the MOT.

The Fiesta starts with a little choke and the 957cc engine sounds in good.
