1981 Ford Fiesta L 1.1 from Netherlands
Summary:
It's a fabulous small and fast fun car, ready for another 30+ years :)
Faults:
The only thing that went wrong was the ignition; those points had to be replaced too often, so we changed the dizzy for one with an electronic ignition inside.
General Comments:
It was a slow as a snail and pink when we bought it, neglected for about 9 years in a garage.
Now the small car is red again, feels more like a small street sleeper, as we've done 0 to 100 kmh (62mph) in less than 8 seconds (GPS timing) more than once.
Since we've put some modifications in and on it, she drives like a real sports car. She's still quite comfy, and on the highway she can play along with the rest till far over the legal speed limits out there.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I think you mean 0-62mph in 18 seconds... that was about what my 1100 could manage.
