Original book pack with service history stamped to approximately 55,000 miles
Cambelt replaced in 2020
The Appeal
The Ford Fiesta 1.4 S is arguably the most desirable - and certainly one of the rarer - models of the insanely successful Fiesta MK2. A mid-range sports model fitted with a lean-burn 1400cc four-cylinder engine, it was a perfect middle-of-the-road sporty option without the XR2 price tag - and thanks to those factors, was quickly picked up by budding boy racers and petrolheads alike - which is probably why it's a relatively scarce sight today!
This Fiesta S is ready and waiting for some restoration work, and is accompanied by a well-documented history with an original service book and all old MOT certificates. Some work was completed in the past, including a replacement cambelt in 2020. This desirable car is waiting to be brought back to snuff and taken back to the road.
