1986 Ford Fiesta | Barnsley, South Yorkshire

A 1986 Ford Fiesta, from the second generation of Ford's small front-wheel-drive hatchback. It took on the Metro, Peugeot 205 and Vauxhall Nova in the busy 1980s supermini market, and is liked for its short, upright shape and direct, lively steering. This car is red with a grey interior, a bright body over a calm cabin. The grey trim is in tidy order and the car is in good condition overall. Its 1.4-litre engine and manual gearbox give it a hands-on feel, and it seats four. The compact, period shape suits 1980s film and TV scenes, retro photography and fashion shoots, where a small red hatchback is an everyday British backdrop with plenty of room in shot for people or location. At events it makes a cheerful display car. Weddings and nostalgic personal drives are a good fit too. The car is based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
