This is my latest car after selling the fiesta ST I had for a few years. I travelled all the way to York on the assurance of a dealer that his car was a Gem. Upon arrival, I popped the key in and a giant Red ! displayed on the dash. Absolute pup the car was but Ho Hum,live and learn and as fate would have it I found this little Gem.
I haven't driven this a great deal due to a lot of Christmas spirit(s) and poor weather but very impressed with the car and look foward to the summer. Not much planned just tidy up as it is 13 years old after all.
A very good drive. Hugely different to the feel of the fiesta, much more engaging and "analogue". Enough chat, here's some pictures.
I'll get a few more when the sun arrives.
Oh and the noise
Dealer photos.
A brief bit of sunshine
A good scrub
Broken badge
Replacement

Hmm not sure which one was more annoying...
The broken badge or it’s replacement that seems to follow a curve that isn’t present on the bodywork. Would bother me that the P and E are closer to the shut line than the rest of the word!
Lovely car though OP, hope you enjoy it.

Looks to me like the replacement is straight but is sitting alongside the curved edge of the panel. I'd have stuck with a replacement original badge FWIW but diff'rnt strokes and all that. Nice looking car OP. 911BOX always seem to price VERY strongly so I'm glad to hear that they offer good service.

Thanks, I wouldn’t say I got a bargain but the history is good and seems to have been looked after. Just need some sun! I’ll grab some more pictures at the weekend.Not much to report - nice little spin out to the countryside this yesterday morning. Tad chilly with the roof down en route home.
Lots of smiles and a filthy car
Decided to try and sort the roof out this morning and give the car a clean as it was filthy from the winter roads.
If you are in Essex that would explain why it just rained.
Dodo juice still doing its job

That picture above looks like it could have been taken at our local Pistonheads breakfast meet in Bickneacre (Essex) last saturday ?
I normally attend those meets, but after having a few too many drinks on the friday evening i wasn't able to drive Saturday morning...

Not much happening, driven this more now in 3 months than I drove the fiesta ST I had in the last year of ownership.
First proper drive out now with the roof down.
"De-Snorkeled" the car which involves removing what could be described as a restrictor for the air intake.Sound is improved above 3k rpm.
Lots of fun, roll on summer.
