My latest Classic Ford
Hi guy's,been away for a while so thought I would come & say 'hello'.For those that don't already know I'm a ex Scooby owner who has returned to Ford's ( Classic's ).I have a 1982 Mk 1 Fiesta show car,also had a 1989 Mk 4 Escort for a few months.Sold the Escort in May 2013 & found a 1985 'B' plate Mk 2 Fiesta 1.3 Ghia-1 lady owner from new with 3,920 miles.Now I did think to leave it standard but as I wanted the best of both I have slightly modified it.
Anyway here are a few pics
How I got it
And as it is now

Pics of the MK1 please
Thats a very tidy late B reg Fiesta
I sold my Scoob and bought a couple of MK2 Fiestas to do up. Gave up as I missed my Scoob - sold them on and bought another Scoob
If you ever break the switch holder on the dash I have a spare mint grey one Needs an XR2 engine. Nice little sleeper

I used to love MK2 fiesta XR2's had 3 of them, cracking little cars, one of my cousins has been a ford mechanic for about 40yrs used to let him have mine for the weekend and he'd make them run and drive as sweet as a nut for peanuts, used to surprise a lot of people with them back in the day.

Reminds me of the dick we had on here years ago who said he always folded his rear seats flat to lower the centre of gravity.
Lovely cars mate, nice to see them unmolested and as they were intended.

You're not wrong, I remember paying 45-49p/litre when I got my first car. There was outrage when it hit the 50p/litre mark Look at it now.

I had a red MK1 XR, A158 XWA, swapped it for an E reg MK2 the new owner put it in a ditch and abandoned it I got contacted by the police as it was still in my name (in the days when the new owner was trusted to send off the V5!! ) Fortunately I had the new owners details otherwise it could have got messy!!

MK1 and 2 are definitely different cars! Its like comparing a newage to a classic. The same but different
My MK1 had the 5 speed fitted with a custom made tie rod and home made strengthening kit similar to what the Fiesta Centre eventually started selling!!
I had a 5 speed fitted to a MK1 1.1 back in '94 too
I liked both (for different reasons) but looking at values I wish I'd hung onto the MK1 now

I was considering CVH engine and box swap...but then killed it, one of my friends bought it off me for £300 and reshelled it into his 1300 Super Sport...it lived on
