The second generation of the Ford Mondeo cleverly evolved the highly capable original but stuck to its winning formula of great chassis and great driver engagement.
The ST220 V6 fitted neatly into a fine tradition of Fast Fords like the iconic Sierra Cosworth, its 3litre engine putting 226bhp through the front wheels.
This is a low, owner and mileage version of that car and usefully factory standard. It has clearly been cared for and is in an attractive specification of silver metallic with light grey Recaro leather interior. There is a long MOT to add reassurance. With earlier Fast Fords continuing to appreciate and interest in the ST220 growing, it is a good time to be looking at these cars and this one seems to tick many of the right boxes. e9xi4lUNNsbfg9QriHgPN4Wz4Z0rcruZkBycEbS4.jpg709.34 KB

With all Fast Fords in demand, Interest in the ST220 is growing. Standard, low mileage cars like this are particularly attractive and it seems to represent a great opportunity.
