Curious...!!
Speaking of "a sensible Fiesta ", i found a 1997 Fiesta 3 door for sale a few days ago. It is a bordeaux red one with champagne interior,it is a Ghia. Engine is a 1250 zetec s 16 valve. One lady owner,21000 miles! Bought it for 1000 euro. Have detailed it,and it is now my winter car. Today was 17 degrees celsius and steelblue skies,so winter...
Gonna enjoy it for a while,then sell on. I will post a few pics if that is ok.

Dunno if it's the same now but when I had my escort van at 18 it was a nightmare to insure, had loads of companies telling me it was commercial and on that basis virtually uninsurable, got there in the end but was quite the mission, it was 9 years ago so hopefully things have changed.

Tbh if it’s good he is going to buy it with 17 months until George gets a license I’ve got to insure the escort van And possibly this van if we buy it The lad loves rare stuff, so at least I taught him something!

Means he will never hang with the mediocre “me too” brigade. Probably impacts every other aspect of his life too, meaning he will not just be a sheep and follow the group. You are bringing up a great kid Dan.

So rare that I don't recall ever seeing one before - they must have been out there just not in any big numbers - nice to see George with a sideways drift away from the Dagenham camp too but that may just be me with a bias and dislike of Ford's in general (does not prevent me from working on them though)
