EXTERIOR
With an astonishing and genuine 422 miles from new, this poverty spec example is the ultimate homage to the original Fiesta ethos of simplistic low-cost motoring. Replacing the Popular/Popular Plus model designations, this model is simple known as the ‘Fiesta’ and makes the ‘L’ seem luxurious! To suggest that this example is as new is a bold statement, but one which is wholly justified with this perfect Fiesta. Perhaps most impressive is the underside which has been preserved in a time warp condition, with all orange PDI markings to the suspension components, yellow paint dots to the springs and factory stickers still intact, all features usually destroyed within the first few weeks! It is even clear to see the machine applied factory yellow wax to the central floor areas leaving the outer sills exposed, little wonder they all rust! In factory original Diamond White, (Code B 2), the paintwork to all factory panels is 100% original and essentially as new. The trim sections are perfect and supplying Ford dealer number plates, rear screen sticker and tax disc holder with first issue 1992 disc remain fitted! This example is simply as it left the Meridian Ford showroom in 1992, with absolutely nothing painted, replaced or altered. Truly a one-off museum piece.

INTERIOR
An interior entirely commensurate with a 422 mile car! The cabin space with Goodwood Grey fabric trim, (Code L V), is simply as it sat in the showroom awaiting collection by the first and only owner. Seats, door cards, headlining and carpets are as new throughout. The controls and switchgear have bright clear symbols and the new car feel which is lost soon after regular use. All functions operate flawlessly including the ultra-rare Ford self-seek model 2001 stereo with lack of cassette player which was fitted to all models bar the most basic ‘Fiesta’. Probably most nostalgia evoking of all is the new car smell that has been retained, instantly familiar as a Ford and ready to transport you back to a Ford showroom in 1992 complete with dealer branded screen wash and multilube spray! An astonishing piece of Ford history.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 1.1 HCS four cylinder ‘Valencia’ engine is a redesigned version of the Kent unit dating back to the 1950’s and Ford Anglia era! Specification includes a twin-venturi carburettor and manual choke set up which produces a rather pedestrian 53bhp at 5200rpm whereby a top speed of 94mph and 0-60mph is achieved in 14.2 seconds. The pristine engine bay has original plates, fragile paper stickers/labels and factory panel stampings clearly visible. A new Ford Motorcraft oil filter and the red Ford HT Leads remain fitted. A correct brand-new battery is fitted but the original white Motorcraft battery with flat terminals has been kept for total original purposes. Unlike most rattly Ford ‘push-rod’ engines, this example is whisper quiet and the four-speed manual gearbox is slick and superlight.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The factory steel wheels of size 4½ x 13 are in perfect order with the original full wheel covers fitted and as new. The original seeking collector with be pleased to see factory fitted Michelin MX L 155/70 R13 tyres all-round which should be renewed if the car is to be put into use. Perhaps most impressive of all is the virgin spare tyre which even has the miniscule Michelin man logos to the tread face that would have been lost on the first journey! Fully overhauled in October 2024 after long term storage, the servo-assisted diagonally split brakes with 9½” discs up front and 7”drums at the rear are free and operate correctly, and during inspection and overhaul revealed themselves to be in spotless condition!

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on the 26th March 1992 by Meridian Ford Leicester, this exceptional example was purchased by Mr Thompson who was to be the only owner the car has had. A new vehicle order form and subsequent sales invoice is made out to Mr Thompson illustrating a price paid of £6,200 for this most basic of the Fiesta model. Sadly, quite soon after purchasing the vehicle Mr Thompson began to lose his sight which meant the car was left garaged and could not be used. The almost inconceivable 422 miles from new is absolutely genuine and until now, the car was last on the road in around 1996. Despite the clear lack of use, the car was kept on the road for the first fours years and there are four stamped Ford main dealer entries in the service book covering this period. In October 2024 the car was discovered and has since undergone a major service, recommissioning and brake overhaul using genuine Ford parts where possible. The history file has all welcome letters from Ford following initial purchase as well as all corresponding Ford service invoices and checklists. The first MOT certificate in 1995 has been kept as have all tax discs from 1992 to 1996. The full book pack is present with even the ford cardboard sleeve that the document wallet was supplied in! Three keys including the master blade and codes tags are present.

With confirmation of a Christmas 2024 Bullseye reboot, expect to this Fiesta, hazards flashing, be revealed from behind the curtain as ‘Bully’s Special Prize’, unless the contestants end up with just the BFH (bus fare home)! One owner, 422 miles and museum quality in every conceivable respect.

MOT October 2025, HPI Clear.
