The Ford Fiesta has been one of the most successful superminis and one of Britain’s most popular cars for decades. First launched in 1976, the Fiesta was styled as a front-wheel-drive ‘world car’ that was Ford’s answer to the successful Renault 5 and Fiat 127. As this book shows, the Fiesta went from strength to strength, establishing itself as the ubiquitous second car, student’s car and learner’s car. In this readable book, motoring expert Mark Bradbury explores the design and development of the Fiesta as Ford sought to produce a small car for the modern city driver. He details the launch and reception by the public and motoring press and the production of the now classic early models as well as the very last. Also featured are the sporty Fiestas, including the RS and turbo versions and derivatives and variants, as well as the vans, the Ka and the Puma. Bringing the story right up to date with the latest models, the book reflects on the legacy of the Fiesta as it reached the end of its production.
Packed with fascinating insights and accompanied by a full range of illustrations, this is a concise and complete guide to this highly regarded and much-loved car.
