The runabout Fiesta

[Gemma]

well, as most of you know i own the car ive always wanted but with the winter coming in, im puttin her of the road so i bought this!

1997 ford fiesta ghia 1.3 petrol
1 owner from brand new
28k mile on the clock

When i went to collect Bunty (thats been her name from brand new so not changing it lol) last night, the elderly owner had a wee cry as it was another end of an era for her. She sold up because shes turnin 90 and doesnt think shes suitable to be driving anymore

had a quick wee clean at her today, couldnt start to 3pm as was sick as a dog all morning so she got two washes and abit of tardis around her before it turned dark (not alcohol related may i add lol)


this is bunty ! the interior is like brand new and her outside aint to bad either i must add!

the wee orange light on dash is because door is open

this is what sold the car for me!

Get them wheel trims off t'fook Gemma!! I have to admit, I'm lovin them seats.

You feared of the M3 in the winter or somethin?

 

[Gemma]

i only got her home last night, dear god give me a chance lol

cant believe the milage on it!! it drives like a new car! must admit it has everything in a car i totaly hate! Its green, cream interior with a walnut dash lol but it'll save me worryin about where i park the m3 when i go out to town or somewhere! dont wanna be usin the m3 as an everyday car

Have one in the shed myself and was my first car! You can't kill them and ours has 100k on it. Wee Ghia too but I had lazer wheels on it but now a set of wolfrace slot mags on it. For being completely standard springs etc they handle well!

 

[slag]

Yeah, it's great having something you can just park and forget about it.

Health to drive anyway!

Not many left with those miles. I picked up a 1.3 version when I sold the S2K in October... Getting me from A -> B over the winter months and saving me a fortune in fuel .. £37 fills tank !

 

[Gemma]

nope, id imagine there isn't.....thats why i jumped at this wee car when i heard mileage on it, interior condition etc is just a bonus

 

[Eager]

Sell ya a wheel trim

 

[tbdevpaul]

Sister had one for years, was like a wee mountain goat in the snow over the winters

 

[Coog]

They made a 1.2 one of these?

Clean little runabout!

 

[Saunts]

I remember my friend had one of these with what I thought was only 32,000 miles on it, until i realised there is only 5 slots on the milage reader.

Good runabout for the winter however

i can assure you its a genuine 28k, stamped service history lol the wee old woman only used it to tiddle to docs etc

 

[Gemma]

i checked through the manuals etc, i think its a 1.3 lol dont honestly know haha

 

[Aidan316i]

Big step up from the M3 then?

 

[saxo_man]

Very cool. I drove a red two door 1.3 for a while. Very distinctive sound. I've a standard radio if you need it.

 

[Mickey Mayo]

Yeah it's all tappets. Never had an engine that could start so easily! Ours is crying out for tlc but is the most reliable car we have!

 

[lighter7]

Cant beat a fiesta, I still have my fiesta locked up in the garage. Had it since I was 16 and only really gets driven to MOT and back. Wants for nothing.

 

[KREMER]

Not many about as tidy as that, good wee runabout, enjoy Gemma

 

[DaddyCC]

I take it the clock has been round full circle and thats why its on 28k? Gaad the mk4 grey interior is pure SNIIFFFF material, but sure, it'll do fior a cheap hack

More doors for more whores btw Gem? Or is that just a personal self statement?!

 

[Lappintyre]

Have to love the rattly engines on these lol. As long as the heater works your laughing.

that must be a personal statement...i dont see any men lined up Haha

 

[brendy]

My god did you do well getting all the piss out of the front seats.
Honest question too though, did she throw in a lucky penny or leave the kleenex in the rear shelf? 3 hub cap look completes it for the accidental kerb hopping look

Cracking little economic runaround though

 

[Pumesta]

You sure that's a ghia? They had alloys, a naff chrome grill, chrome interior door handles etc. Although the plastic wood would point to it being one
