1982 Ford Fiesta Bravo review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and cheerful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Loads of rust on the back wheel arches, around the headlights, sills etc.
Carburettor needs setting up every three weeks.
Driver's seat doesn't tip forward anymore.
General comments?
Bessie is very reliable and hasn't broken down since I've owned her.
The carburettor doesn't run smooth in wet weather.
Running costs are very cheap.
The interior is now nicer than standard, having been upgraded with Ghia wood trim, door cappings and an XR2 steering wheel.
