1982 Ford Fiesta review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable basic transport if slow and noisy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fanbelt snapped, mirrors fell off, instrument and electrical faults, rust, stalling problem cured only by running with the choke out.
General comments?
Very reliable car, will start first time on cold damp mornings. Good little tin box for getting from A to B. I bought the car for £10 so I can't complain!
