Mk7 Factory Poll

[FMC]

Just got the VIN for our Fiesta due in a couple of weeks, and I've verified it's a German built model, so I'm curious to see how many are German, and how many are Spanish.

To be able to tell, check your VIN and if it has a GA then it's form Germany, if it's WP then it's from Spain. (info from pikestones HERE)

Please enter your votes.

Cheers :)

Car hasn't been built, but I hear through the grapevine (my Dad works for Jaguar, and thus has Ford contacts) that it will be built in Valencia.

It's a Titanium Petrol.

I haven't voted in the poll, because I don't have 100% confirmation, due to the car not actually being built yet. I'll vote when I know for sure.

Mine is a WP, so from sunny Spain!

[zetec_s ljk]

my zetec s

was also made in sunny valencia

:D :D .. obvioulsy the best place for a fiesta to be built ... i wouldnt trust a german haha

[InstructorPiggy]

Boat/ship it came on is from Spain...so assuming spain!

Duno who's best realy...Germans build stuff to last but then can you trust them not to have put a bomb in there or some weird tracking device!

On the other hand spanish guys are just nutters! But we dont have a grime with them...just them with us and sinking those few boats of theres once!

Mine is a zetec s petrol from cologne. One of the earliest build dates!

Interesting stats so far, thanks to all of you who've voted

I'm curious to see if more of a particular model or fuel type comes from either factory, but so far it looks pretty even! I guess a clearer picture will develop over time as more people vote!

:)

EDIT

Bugger!

I just read in another thread that apparently Cologne builds 3dr Fiestas and Valencia builds 5dr versions, so my poll is somewhat flawed!!! :(

My Zetec is 5dr and was built in Cologne. :)

My Zetec is 5dr and was built in Cologne. :)

Thanks for that. I also notice there are some Valencia-built Zetec-S in the poll results, so clearly they are making 3dr versions in Spain as well as Germany :)

I see my car as the Grandad of the group, it was made my hand by three men in a shed in Dagenham :)

[andyedge]

My Diesel Zetec S was built in the Niehl plant in Cologne.

If you already have your car an easy way to check is to go to the www.etis.ford.com site, click the vehicle tab & enter your registration, brings up all the info for your car.

I assume you mean the end of the VIN, and mine is: 07785

[FMC]

[dannyhilton]

Mine is from Germany, as I think all Fiestas Australia gets (for now) come from there ;)

[Sarc]

Just added my vote to increase the 'Zetec 1.4 petrol built at Valencia' total to a whopping 'FOUR', (so far!)

Sarc.

--------------------

Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.4 in Colorado red, (3-door/petrol/manual transmission), QuickClear heated windscreen, bog-standard 15" alloys, chrome bits here there and everywhere, real spare wheel instead of the 'shaving foam' tyre repair kit which is normally supplied. (Would have also liked a built-in Jelly Baby dispenser, but sadly they haven't been invented yet). Ordered on 21st July. Build date: 5th September (Valencia). Delivery date: 29th Sept (2009)

If anyone is interested I've done my own, personal REVIEW of the car, which includes loads of photos etc. Please click the following banner:

I can see this 'guide' being useful for future resale values - "For sale - RARE Valencia-built Fiesta - much more valuable than those common-as-muck German Fiestas! :P"

In the middle of the VIN is where the WP or GA appear, not at the very start of the number shown on any paperwork.

WF means ford europe

I posted a full guide to breaking down your VIN code a while back.

Hopefully some one can post you a link
