1983 Ford Fiesta XR2 Mk 1 SOLD

First registered in April 1983, this beautiful example of the fast-appreciating Ford Fiesta XR2 has had just three previous owners and is only being sold to fund work on the seller’s latest classic car.

The subject of a comprehensive restoration in 2004, it then moved into the first of two consecutive car collections only being used sparingly until the current owner bought it two years ago. He’s since driven it regularly, treating it to something of a rolling restoration as he dealt with the inevitable niggles that come with buying a car that hadn’t really been used for a decade.

It’s all sorted now and is ready for the new owner to enjoy on the road as well as the showground.

The Fiesta had a full bodywork restoration in 2004, during which the car was stripped completely down before being fitted with a brand new bonnet and secondhand tailgate.

It was then professionally resprayed in its original colour of Caspian Blue before being reassembled with a number of brand new O/ E items including the n/ s wing mirror, front indicator lenses, a front and rear fog lights, rear light lenses, rear bumper end caps, four new bumper over-riders, front grille and a new set of side and sill decals.

The result is stunning, even 14 years later; the combination of careful surface preparation, a high level of skill in the application of the paint, careful reassembly, and being stored undercover ever since have preserved the car you see today.

The flanks are ripple-free and the panel gaps are every bit as good as they were when it left the Ford factory in 1984. There is no rust, no dents, and only a very stone chips in the paint on door edges, excellent news for a car that is over 10 years restored.

The pepperpot alloy wheels were also refinished in 2006 and are shod with four matching 185/ 60 R13 Yokohama tyres, all of which have good tread. There is a full-size spare wheel in the boot.
