Close inspection will reveal the bodywork in amazing condition and an original underside in perfect structural condition. The panels are pin straight with linear gaps and crisp seams preserved. Close scrutiny reveals nothing other than a handful of carefully touched in markings.

INTERIOR The original L specification Houndstooth Fabric Trim in Black and Red, (Code H 1), remains preserved in breath taking original condition. The fabric and structure to the seats is perfect and thanks to garage storage from new, there is no sunlight fading whatsoever. The door cards, carpets and headlining are immaculate. Factory stickers remain on the seat belt buckles! The wonderfully sparse fascia is fully intact in showroom order, and all equipment and functions. The very critical eye will note nothing other than a few faint scratches to the top of the inner doors and one rear side trim where the vinyl has shrunk slightly. The spotless luggage space has the original Ford jack and brace as well as factory foam insulation and PDI build sticker intact. ENGINE & TRANSMISSION This Fiesta 1.1 L is powered by the 1117cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing 53bhp The engine bay is a concours judges dream. The car has undergone major recommissioning after being off the road for many years and where possible under safety constraints, original and genuine Motorcraft service items are used and retained including plug leads, filters and other consumables. Fragile stickers and labels to original components such as the coil and brake servo have remained intact and bright. Brackets, clips and fittings retain the factory anodised coating. Panels stampings to inner wings as well and VIN and body plates are preserved. The four-speed gearbox operates precisely. WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES The factory steel wheels of size 4 x 12 are in perfect order with all black centre caps intact. Brand new Michelin MX-145 R12 are fitted to all four road wheels and the spare wheel still wears the factory original virgin Michelin XZX tyre. Servo-assisted, which was standard on the 1100 engine, the diagonally split brakes with discs up front and self-adjusting drums at the rear operate correctly having been subject to full overhaul in October 2025. HISTORY FILE Registered new on the 21st April 1980 by Ford Main Dealer, Gilbert Rice Ltd in Horsham, the first and only owner was a Miss Histed. Purchased later in life as her first car, Miss Histed decided she wanted to start driving, and with a mild disability requiring her to have a modified clutch pedal she passed her test. The car was always garaged and used sparingly as Miss Histed felt that she was never overly fond of being a motorist, despite the freedom it offered. In the 1980’s she decided she no longer wished to drive but did not want to part with the car just in case and so it remained, in the garage. In 1996 she initially made the decision to sell the car and took it for MOT which it passed. However, she changed her mind and decided not to sell the car. The exact same scenario happened in 2007 where again the car passed the MOT but she once more decided she could not part with it, despite her Nephew now being involved and writing to the Fiesta Club GB asking for advice on what to do with the car! This letter and the reply from the Club Chairman are in the history folder. In 2025, KGF Classic Cars were contacted by said Nephew who told us about the car and that it was now definitely for sale. Even covered in dust after many years of storage, it was immediately clear just how preserved and untouched the car had been. The car came back to headquarters where it has been a real labour of love undertaking the recommissioning. The handbook contains service stamps in the early 1980’s from the supplying dealership, and the spare keys with supplying dealer leather key fob and all handbooks are present. A large folder holds receipts for the recommissioning work and there is even an original Ford range brochure from 1980! MOT November 2026, HPI Clear.
