1994 Ford Fiesta | Bristol

A 1994 Ford Fiesta, from the third generation of Ford's small hatchback. The Fiesta was the everyday supermini of its day, a familiar sight on British streets through the 1990s, and the third-generation car brought a five-door body to the range. This car is silver with a grey interior, a quiet, period-correct combination that sits easily in a street scene. It has a 1.1-litre petrol engine, which suits its character as ordinary 1990s transport rather than a sporting Fiesta. It seats five, so a small crew or a family group travels together. For film, television and photography, it works as everyday 1990s traffic or a character's own car, and its plain colours keep attention on the actors and the location. Advertising and editorial shoots can use it to set a mid-1990s mood. Weddings and personal hires get an affectionate 1990s touch too. The car is based in Bristol.
