2000 Ford Mondeo ST200 | Gateshead, Tyne & Wear

The Ford Mondeo ST200 is the sporting top of the facelifted Mondeo range, known for a tuned 2.5-litre V6 with 202 bhp, firmer suspension and Touring Car-inspired styling. It was Ford's road-going nod to its British Touring Car Championship years, and it is still liked as a quick family saloon with some attitude. This car is blue with a black interior, a sober pairing that lets the ST200's body kit and 17-inch wheels do the talking. The model was fitted with Recaro sports seats and the Rally Sport Appearance Pack, details that set an ST200 apart from an ordinary Mondeo up close. This one has the 2.5-litre petrol engine. Late-1990s film and TV scenes suit it, as its 1999-2000 look sets the period without effort. Automotive photography and enthusiast events work too, since the kit makes it clearly different from a standard Mondeo. It also makes an understated choice for a wedding or personal hire. The car is based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
