1978 Ford Fiesta 1.1 L. Registration number: BGP 175S. Mileage: 77,661. One owner for the past 45 years.
The current vendor purchased this early MK1 Ford Fiesta on the 23rd of June 1980 and has owned it ever since.

Finished in Venetian red with black bodyside coachlines and a Houndstooth beige fabric upholstery with matching beige door cards all in the original L specification. Original supplying dealer steel number plates, period style Saisho radio cassette player, heated rear window.

Amazing preservation, thanks to being dry stored in the vendor garage all it's life. The underside in perfect structural condition having never been welded and not been in any accidents.

With the 50th anniversary of the Ford Fiesta next year, what better way of celebrating this milestone with this original well cherished example. Genuine examples like this one will also make this a great investment for the future.

Starts and runs like a dream, the vendor last used the Fiesta on the road when it was MOT'd in April 2022.

The vendor is reluctantly selling the Fiesta due to giving up driving. As you can imagine it was a hard decision to make having been part of the family for such a long time!

This is a unique opportunity to purchase an original unmolested MK1 Ford Fiesta that will make a great investment or suit any classic car collector.
