Just won this, picking it up Sunday.......it's for the wife, to teach her to drive in. Will be her first car, then teach my son to drive in it in 2 years time. :)

Also to take to classic car shows till the Escort is ready, then they can both go. :)

Classed as a modern day classic, and it's been doing the shows for a few years. Getting rare now. Nice solid little car to learn in. And wife has done the insurance, no ncb, provisional license, me as named driver, only £320 for the year fully comp. :)

All collected, sweet drive home. Very smooth box, and quite a comfy ride too. Very solid, a few bits of surface rust. No rot though. Needs a valet, and will do plugs, oil & filter and air filter. And the wife loves it. :D

Cheers mate, yes it's very solid and tidy. Drives well too. Not many about now, especially the SX. Very rare. :)

Ha ha......was the first time I'd driven a Fiesta. Gotta say, I was quite impressed. :)

Will service it Saturday and got some black vinyl to go on the door pillars as it's been removed for some reason. :)

The sun came out, so got the vinyl cut and done one side but it started raining again. So other side will have to wait till tomorrow. Along with the service. :)

Just took Sam for her first lesson, just round a big car park. Good clutch control, and steering. Will try and get her to go into 2nd gear next time. Just need to build her confidence up. :D
