JC600 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Just won this, picking it up Sunday.......it's for the wife, to teach her to drive in. Will be her first car, then teach my son to drive in it in 2 years time. :) Also to take to classic car shows till the Escort is ready, then they can both go. :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1992-FORD-FIESTA-SX-SILVER-/331570678966?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d33270cb6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent via the 'Clacks' GNU STP Will have to restrian myself lol.....as it's the wife's car......When she's confident and been driving it a while, maybe she might want stuff doing to it. But it's quite a rare car now. So would only be suspension, brakes and engine tweeks. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 All collected, sweet drive home. Very smooth box, and quite a comfy ride too. Very solid, a few bits of surface rust. No rot though. Needs a valet, and will do plugs, oil & filter and air filter. And the wife loves it. :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC600 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Lovely, nice to see an unmolested one for a change. Looks in excellent condition too! MK3s are rare now, this will be a future classic!Yeah, it will stay standard too. Has its dealer plates, tax disc holder, key rings and original sales brochure. Does need a little tlc, as it does have some rust but not structural and no rot. Roof could do with a respray as it looks like thinks have been stored on it. And drivers door has a few dints. Wow that's a blast from the past, I remember my mum having one of these when I was a kid and then passing it to my grandad! Great clean example you have their!It drives really well, better than I thought it would.....very smooth, and quite nippy for 60bhp lol :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
