1977 Ford Fiesta L 1.1 from UK and Ireland

Summary:

100 quids worth of Dodge Viper power!

Faults:

The starter motor died whilst driving from Kent to Cornwall, and the Thermo-switch broke so I had to wire the cooling fan to the ignition.

General Comments:

A very reliable car which refused to die! She was dented and hand painted with a brush (Dodge Viper stripes), but I loved her till the end.

When her floor finally gave in, she sat in my garage for six months, by which time I managed to blow the engine in her replacement (An 1100 mk3 escort) and so I transplanted her engine into that and she's still running today!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
