Mariner Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Spotted a very interesting 16 plate Fiesta test car parked in Brighton at the weekend. The car does not show on ETIS (reg or VIN) and was registered in Essex (Ford Dunton?) It is jammed packed full of electronics, computers and sensors, even an anemometer on the roof. Also has quick fuel drain facility etc. I suspect it is a test rig for some of the electronics that will go into production on the Mk 8. Note also the instrument cluster, front bumper/grill etc. Even had a large red emergency stop button on the dash. Quite surprised to see it parked in full view near the sea front. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappers96 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Wow, what a find! I was in Brighton last Tuesday, can't believe I missed it was it anywhere near the pier? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yes It was. In the pay and display spaces on the Old Steine outside the Royal Albion hotel, which is basically opposite the pier. On a Saturday afternoon in full view to anyone passing. I was on foot with a friend and we walked right past it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
