The Appeal
The hot-hatch market was going through an exciting time at the close of the 80s, and the MK2 Fiesta can be credited with a great deal of the hype. These lightweight, nimble cars inspired a whole generation of petrolheads, and have gone down as one of the most iconic cars of the 1980s.
This example has been in its current ownership since 1994, and comes to us in highly original condition, with a stylish period interior.
