The Fiesta Mark IV was launched in October, 1995, and became Britain's best-selling car from 1996 to 1998, with the Mark IV benefitting from new interior and exterior styling. It maintained similar dimensions to the Mark III, but the RS1800 and RS Turbo models were not carried over to the updated Fiesta range. The model featured a range of new Zetec engines, available in 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre petrol units, with a 1.8-litre diesel engine slightly modified for the Mark IV and now marketed as the Endura DE. Lower-specification models remained available with what was the final edition of the Kent 1.3-litre OHV engine, now known as the Endura E. Data reveals that just 1,123 Fiesta Flights remained on British roads in early 2025, with 3,139 on SORN – way down from the 68,302 in use in 2002.
A genuine “one careful lady owner” car, this now-rare 1997 Fiesta 1.3-litre three-door model has covered just 43,000 miles from new. Originally sold through Ford main dealer Sandicliffe of Birmingham, it has remained in Birmingham ever since. The care lavished on it across its life is really remarkable, with regularly servicing up to the present – the most recent stamps (from the Villa Cross Garage) are from 2018 (39,794 miles), 2020 (41,102), 2022 (41,700) and 2024 (42,375). The extensive history file includes the book pack with service book and manuals, plus invoices and MOT certificates verifying the indicated mileage. It is offered with an MOT to March, 2026.
