THE APPEAL

Back in the Nineties, the Mk3 Ford Fiesta was a common sight on UK roads and we all knew someone that had one – they sold thousands of them

They were part of the fabric of Britain and with there nimble handling and nippy lean-burn quite engines they were a great drive, too.

Launched in 1989, the Mk3 Fiesta was one of the first cars to feature the option of anti-lock brakes and boasted more interior space than the Mk2.

This example is a special edition Ghia model based on the 49bhp 1.1-litre Popular Plus model and is remarkable in having only covered 97,413 miles.
With an economical engine and a roomy interior offering seat belts for five, it’s a practical usable classic.

THE INTERIOR

Interior trim in first rate condition
Still retains original Ford radio cassette
Headlining and rear parcel shelf unmarked

Many Fiestas of the early Nineties fell victim to the Max Power era of car mods and had holes hacked in their door card and parcel shelfs to house oversized speakers, so to find an unmodified and original interior is rare.

The condition of the Goodwood fabric trim covering the seats is incredibly good and even the driver’s seat, which usually sees the brunt of the wear, looks in great condition and isn’t torn, worn or sagging.

The original two-spoke steering wheel doesn’t have much evidence of use, while the still clear 5-speed markings on the gear knob and the barely worn pedal rubbers confirm the low mileage. With just 97,413 miles recorded on the clearly layout instruments, it’s a rare find.

The passenger seat and rear seat fabric looks in
equally exceptional condition, while the door cards are unmarked and intact. Even the parcel shelf is joyously free from damage, while the headlining appears in great condition and benefits from a original sunroof As was the ‘electronic self-seek AM/FM stereo radio cassette’ which looks original and sports a Ford logo.

The dash itself is finished in that strange shade of brown/cream plastic that Ford seemed to favour in the Nineties and is unmarked with all the buttons appearing present and correct.

It’s delightfully fuss free with no complex electronics to go wrong – as the highend ghia model it even has the front electric windows in perfect working order, with be a novelty to any modern youth!

The boot carpet is unmarked as the front carpeting and lifts up to reveal a near perfect boot floor – even the painted inner wheel arches are clean and scratch free.
You’d never know that this car was a 33-year-old looking at its shiny and crisp ivory white paintwork.
