I really miss my 1982ish X reg red mk1 fiesta. It belonged to a friend of mine and I got by swapping a set of alloys from a scrap car for it. It had been broken into and needed a new quarterlight and steering column cowling. 30k from new and in great condition. No rust, gleaming paintwork, immaculate interior and 100% original. Pleasure to drive, economical and had a lovely rasping exhaust note. I "had" to sell it as my then girlfriend hated the sight of it. I sold it to a mate who then sold it on a year later and I never saw it again.

I really miss that festa!!!
