For sale is my excellent condition White Fiesta RS Turbo, I really dont want to sell her but
I have joined an employee car club with the intention of attending track days with my co-workers
and this little Turbo is just way too nice to be used for that kind of thing. So I will sell her on
and put the money towards another F-RST which can be abused without guilt.

I found this car through the owners fourm a couple of months ago so heres the full story before I purchased the car.
The Original owner purchased this car for his wife, brand new from the Ford dealer "Currie Motors" in 1990 (I have the original bill of sale and the old version V5).
She used the car very rarely to a from the shops up untill 2003 putting approx 66k on the clock.
In the first year of ownership she damaged the Nearside front wing, it was replaced by the Ford dealer, spot welded and shows the date stamp of 1991.
It was serviced regulary by "Currie Motors" until they closed down, it was then maintained by their local garage.
At some point along the way it also had the petrol cap panel repaired but he couldnt remember when.
In 2003 when the Tax and MOT ran out the owner declared it as sorned and amazingly it then sat on his driveway for the next 9 years! under a cover.
He said that he often went outside and turned the car over, let it warm up and down etc but it never went back on the road.
He then advertised it on the owners forum and I picked it up as a restoration project.

I transported the car back to my house and soon realised that it was a little diamond in the rough!
To get it back up running properly I have completed the following:-
Brand new Cam belt
New Water pump
New aux belt
Full set of new Tappets
Oil and Filter
New spark plugs
Four replacement tyres (part worn)
Knew battery

After that I took it for an MOT so they could tell me what else needed doing, which basically found all the brake cylinders were siezing and some welding was needed
on the back sills (only small patchs).
So all the brake cylinders have been stripped down cleaned, serviced and flushed through/ bled with new Brake fluid and 4 new rubber hoses.
The rust was then cut out and welded up but I must stress they were small patchs, the car is very impressive for the condition of the metel.
On the retest she was issued a new MOT, with the tester commenting it was in great condition.

Since then have cut and polished the bodywork and the pictures speak for themselves.

The bad bits and I am being very picky in places:-
2 very small spots of rust breaking through on the roof near the arial.
The fuel cap panel repair is showing its age a little, you can see where the paint edges are.
very small tear on the drivers right side seat bolster about an inch long
Headlining looks worn but not sure how? maybe the climate conditions or being parked outside effected it.
One of the bumper lamps is cracked.
The Ford replaced wing paintwork looks tatty
The boot lock had an attempted break in so different lock/key to open the tailgate
On the underside of the bonnet near the latch stricker is a patch of rust
3 out of 4 alloys are good, 1 of them has some bronze looking marks on.

Obviously despite the pictures making it look immaculate - it is not, the bodywork does have the odd chip and mark on it etc but overall a really good car.
