laumk7 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 It's a special edition 30th anniversary fiesta, one of only 400 ever made in this colour - it's got its own personal number on the dash. Made in the old Ford plant Belfast in 2007. It's a petrol 1.6 zetec s and is his first ever car, I'm going to be "babysitting " it until he can start having private lessons on it. I've told him to keep it as original as possible as it's a future classic car 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Looks very tidy. And hope he can keep it original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Lovely shade of red on these. But seriously, looks really good, hope he appreciates it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_k Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Did you price up the insurance for him? Might be a bit high dependent on his age, with that particular engine size etc. Nice car though, think they done a lime-green coloured one too from memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Looks nice! I bet he's very pleased. Is he turning 17 then? If so he's the same age as me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there's a big distance between me and he (and as he can't drive it until hes passed) I'm the one insuring it in my name with him as a named provisional driver until he passes then v5c and insurance will be put into his name with me as a named driver. This is costing £300 odd pound. When he passes im expecting his insurance to be the approx value of the car every year The reason im doing this this way is if the car stays his end it'll just go rusty and rot whereas this end i can potter about in it between lessons to keep everything running. Not to mention I can't take any risks. In fact as a quick edit it just run a quote as if he passed yesterday and it's coming back at just over £2k which isn't as bad as I first thought They did them in yellow, red and lime green limited to 1000 cars or something. I know there were only 400 yellow ones. Might well take it to Ford fair next year tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's over the moon excited and can't wait to drive it. He was actually 22 back in March, but has never until now shown any interest in driving, despite my best efforts when he was 17 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Ah there's a lime green one that comes to a lot of local meets, I didn't realise it was a standard/special edition thing though! Being 22 should help his insurance, even without any NCB, don't think I could've waited that long though lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 The anniversary edition is a zetec s with a few extras thrown on £1400 worth according to autoexpress), the checkered flag roof, sports full leather seats and checkered flag doorsills and personal number on the dash are a dead giveaway though. Failing all that it's had a respray lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opr Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Fantastic car. I have a real soft spot for special edition models. It looks to be in great condition too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like a 1.25 zetec would have been a better option for a newly passed driver for obvious reasons. And the insurance in his name should be around the 1k mark with the 1.25 fiesta car, as opposed to what you've been quoted for him in the 1.6!
