The Mk. I Ford Fiesta ST—based on the fifth-generation Ford Fiesta platform—was engineered as a compact performance derivative of Ford's best-selling hatchback. At its core is a naturally aspirated two-litre Duratec inline-four producing approximately 148 bhp and 140lb. ft. of torque, paired with a five-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels. A stiffened body shell, revised suspension geometry, firmer dampers and springs, thicker anti-roll bars, and rear disc brakes distinguish it from standard models. Riding on 17in. alloy wheels, the Fiesta ST delivered responsive steering, reduced body roll, and a considerable turn of speed, achieving 0-60 mph in around 7.9secs. and a top speed near 129 mph.
Registered new in Worcester, this Fiesta ST is beautifully preserved having had one lady owner and covered only 29,700 miles from new. The HPI check confirms that it entered the present ownership in January, 2007, while the stamped service record testifies to the mileage. There is a total of six service stamps spanning January, 2009 (7,016 miles), to May, 2023 (29,341 miles), with the earliest issued by Bristol Street Motors in Cheltenham and the later ones from other garages. As one would expect from an obviously cherished car, it is to be supplied with two keys plus its original book pack.
As far as its condition goes, the vendor describes the Fiesta as “mint” and we would find it hard to disagree. On examination, it is very difficult to detect faults with the paintwork and interior, and the engine bay has been kept delightfully clean, too. The MOT record shows that the Fiesta was kept in annual use until 2023, after which it was in dry storage for a period, but it has been freshly recommissioned and has just passed an MOT with no advisories, the certificate remaining valid until March, 2027.
PLEASE NOTE: The new owner will need to apply for a V5C on this lot, as the current V5C has been lost.
