ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The time proven transverse mounted 1117cc OHV engine with single-venturi carburettor develops a spirited 50bhp at 5000rpm and 83Nm of torque at 2700rpm.

The standard specification manual choke and electronic ignition are both present and correct, and operate perfectly. The four speed synchromesh gearbox is light and exact. Simplistic motoring with huge entertainment factor!
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original 13” X 5” steel wheels are in pristine order and feature the correct silver ‘L’ specification centre caps. The 135/80 R13 tyres have excellent tread remaining. 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.
HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by Ford Main Dealer Gates of Essex and registered new on 27th August 1986, this superb Fiesta has had just four keepers. The incredible low mileage of just 42,769 miles is supported by many previous MOT certificates.
The previous keeper having enjoyed the car since 2008 has now decided to allow another appreciative owner to uphold the cars preservation with the car wanting for nothing. With excellent parts availability and absolute mechanical simplicity, this beautiful Fiesta represents the ideal starter or budget classic car, likely to draw as much admiration at classic car shows as any supercar!
