An early Mk1 Ford Fiesta L 950 owned by the same family from new!

EQUIPMENT
Black louvred design radiator grille, drag-reducing aerofoil section, integral front air dam, bright bumpers with black inserts, bright waist rail, bright driver’s door mirror, bodyside coachline, L badge on rear door, halogen headlamps, reversing lamp, heated rear window, quick action single fold rear bench seat with automatic lock, storage compartment under rear floor, front passenger glove compartment and package shelf, air blending heater with two-speed fan, three ashtrays, two-speed wipers, folding detachable rear package tray, three grab handles. Dealer Options: Endrust preservation treatment.

EXTERIOR
An early Mk1 Fiesta on a S suffix registration, this wonderfully honest example has remained in the same family since new and covered a mere 44,161 miles! Finished in the deliciously period original colour of Nevada Beige, (Code 8), this unrestored example looks amazing with a deep glossy shine to the body panels which, incredibly, are factory fitment. Amazing preservation, thanks in large to dealer applied Endrust treatment from new and cherished family ownership, has seen the bodywork survive in amazing condition with zero evident rust repairs and an underside in perfect structural condition having never been welded, which is almost unheard of! Close scrutiny reveals nothing other than a few light touched in scratches and slight age tarnishing to the badges. Trim sections, lenses and bumpers are in fantastic condition and the original coachline and factory glass throughout remains, as do the supplying dealer steel number plates and rear screen sticker. Lack of rear screen wiper denote an earlier car and this brilliant example is among the best you will ever find.

INTERIOR
The original L specification Houndstooth Fabric Trim in Black and Chocolate, (Code J I), is wonderfully retro and remains beautifully unspoilt. The fabric and structure to the seats is superb and spotlessly clean, and the doors cards, carpets and headlining are immaculate. Very slight fading to the top of the rear bench seat is forgiven considering the originality, and even factory stickers remain on the seat belt buckles! The wonderfully sparse fascia is fully intact with no cracks or damage and all equipment and functions, albeit minimal, operate perfectly. The foot operated manual pump for the windscreen washers is a feature of only the very early cars, yet on this example this has been bypassed for a discreet and far more effective electric button on the steering column. One rear ashtray is missing. The luggage space is very clean and complete with the original jack and brace as well as factory foam insulation intact. An unspoilt reflection of a bygone simplistic motoring era, this incredible early Fiesta interior is just lovely!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
This frugal Fiesta L 950 is powered by the 957cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing a blistering 45bhp! Fabulously robust and simple, the engine still has the original single-choke carburettor with Ford fuel pump and the car jumps into life effortlessly. The instantly recognisable engine hum is hugely nostalgic, and car performs brilliantly. The engine bay still wears the extensive Endrust treatment which has done its job entirely in preserving the structure. The original inner wings, strut tops and bulkhead are absolutely solid. The engine bay presents very well with factory PDI dabs visible as well as Ford plug leads. Further early car features include lack of brake servo, slam panel mounted VIN plate and the radiator overflow sited next to the radiator as opposed to the bulkhead. The four-speed gearbox operates well and this lively little Fiesta is great fun to drive!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The factory steel wheels of size 4 x 12 are in perfect order with all black centre caps intact. Matching branded 145/80 R12 tyres have plenty of tread and the spare wheel is shod in a Pirelli Cinturato P3 tyre. The diagonally split brakes with discs up front and self-adjusting drums at the rear operate correctly having been subject to full overhaul in October 2025.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on the 13th June 1978 by Ford Main Dealer, Sopers of South Brent Ltd, this exceptional example was purchased by first owner Mr Goss. The new car sales invoice in the history file shows he paid £2,667.19 having opted for Endrust preservation treatment and with a part exchange allowance of £150.19 for his 1964 Ford Anglia. Incredibly, this Fiesta has remained in the Goss family since new with ownership passing to his wife in 1992 and then son in 2001. The history file is equally amazing and huge, with the original service book stamped with annual servicing by the supplying dealer until the late 1980’s and since then up to 2021 the same independent garage has serviced the car virtually every year! There are no less than 50 invoices from Wrangaton Motors in South Brent for servicing and maintenance spanning from the first in 1986 right up to 2021, 35 years! Furthermore, all MOT certificates from the 1980’s to present are neatly filed and the mere 44,161 miles from new is fully warranted. A full service and mechanical inspection was carried out in October 2025 and maintenance items such as the water pump, belt and brakes have been replaced/overhauled at this time. The handbook, spare keys and even an original Ford range brochure from 1978 are present. The condition, originality, ownership history and colossal history file are equally amazing and there is no doubt this is one of the best cared for Fiesta’s in existence!

The five-speed Type-9 gearbox is light and precise.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

HISTORY FILE
The one you’ve been waiting for! This Sierra has been owned by Steve, Operations Manager at KGF Classic Cars, for the last seven years. Over the years, the car has appeared on our social media channels resulting in many enquiries asking to buy the car which Steve has always declined, until now! The car was supplied new by Ford Main Dealer, Doe Motors of Maldon in Essex, and registered new on the 18th April 1988. The first owner, Mr Gillman, owned the car for around a year when in 1989 it returned to the supplying dealer to be sold again. The used vehicle order form and sales invoice from Doe Motors made out to second owner, Mr Cameron, is in the history file. The car was put into dry storage in around the year 2000 following the owner passing and his wife feeling unable to part with her late husband’s car. It was only in 2018 and upon Mrs Cameron’s passing that the car was discovered with just over 40,000 miles on the clock. At this point, KGF Classic Cars were offered the car and upon its arrival, Steve insisted it was not to be put on sale, because he was having it! After full recommissioning, the car was used regularly in dry weather and has been thoroughly enjoyed for the last seven years. The Sierra has given sterling service, attended shows and even being used on family holidays. The car was also displayed on the test track at the 40th anniversary celebration of the launch of the Sierra in 2022 at the Ford of Britain Dunton Campus.

A major service was carried out in March 2025 and cambelt renewal in September 2025. The original Doe Motors document wallet houses the service book with 11 stamped entries, handbooks, guides and dealership literature as well as two keys. A large history folder holds many invoices and receipts for servicing as well as all MOT certificates since the first in 1991 to 2000 when the car went into storage. All further MOT certificates and service invoices from 2018 to present fully verify the 49,196 miles from new. Adored by Steve, the time has come to let a new owner enjoy the car, despite protests from Steve’s young children who also love ‘Daddy’s red race car’!

EXTERIOR
An instant success upon launch in 1998 and following on from the Ka, Puma, Cougar and revised 1996 Mondeo, the Focus Mk1 used Ford’s New Edge design language and was a massive deviation from the outgoing conservatively styled Escort. Finished in factory optional Ford Moondust Silver metallic, (Code O 8), this pre-facelift Mk1 example boasts unrepeatable credentials of one owner and 2,241 miles from new. Garaged from new, it is hard to conceive the phenomenal condition whereby even close scrutiny fails to detect any imperfections.

The five-speed gearbox is precise and beautifully weighted. This epitomises the brand new Focus Mk1 driving experience that caused such a stir and motoring press acclaim in 1998!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The unrestored Zetec specification 15in five double-spoke alloy wheels are immaculate as are the centre caps. Premium Uniroyal 195/55 R15 tyres have been fitted all round in September 2025. The braking system has also been overhauled in September 2025.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new on 1st March 2001 by Main Dealer, Allen Ford in Romford, the first and only registered owner is a Mr Young. In stark contrast to most examples that were put into daily use in all weathers, this example was destined for a more cossetted existence. The car has always been garaged, clearly evident in the condition of both the body and astonishing underside, and it is believed that due to the owner’s ill health the car was subject to very minimal use. Early service records as well as online MOT history track the mileage. The original service book has six stamped entries, the first five of which are the supplying dealership, Allen Ford, and cover the period up to 2007 when the car was taken off the road. In August 2025, the car caught the attention of KGF Classic Cars by a feature from a prominent online content creator covering a Mk1 Ford Focus with miniscule mileage and one owner coming up for sale. Intrigue got the better of us and we found ourselves at a classic car auction where we inpected the the car prior to bidding. Being absolutely blown away by the condition and originality, we decided to deviate from our general rule of buying classic cars direct from owner, enthusiasts and collectors and just had to bid. Having won the auction, the car arrived at KGF Classic Cars headquarters where ramp inspection left the team even more speechless at the exceptional preserved condition. Not wanting the car to just be an ornament, a full inspection, brake overhaul, major service and cambelt change has taken place using genuine Ford parts. The original factory fitted Michelin tyres were replaced due cracking with premium Uniroyal tyres. A set of brand-new floor mats ordered directly from Ford are a nice finishing touch replacing the non-original rubber items. The car is now fully roadworthy and ready to showcase what is probably the finest non-RS Mk1 you are ever likely to see. The modern classic car world has long seen the Mk1 Focus RS as highly collectable, and now the car community and indeed many online creators are beginning to revel in the collectability of the everyday variant. Quickly disappearing, the Mk1 Focus has always been an icon and forward-thinking collectors and investors will be making a beeline for this car!

The Ford document wallet holds all handbooks, guides, service book and both sets of keys with two Allen Ford fobs. A folder of MOT records, service invoices and an original sales brochure and price list complete the history file. This one is very special and fast becoming iconic.

A full album of photos shows the completeness and originality of the car prior to restoration work and the meticulous steps taking during the refurbishment to create the show car seen today. Used sparingly over the last 15 for the occasional classic car show, (plaques and programmes included), and an annual MOT, it creates a buzz whenever out. An A4 file of paperwork including invoices, old MOT certificates and handbooks are included. This car is now ready for the discerning collector and Blue Oval enthusiast.

The Rallye Sport Escorts built by Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations were practically handbuilt and this rare Ford Escort RS2000 is one of the few remaining genuine survivors. Finished in desirable Olympic Blue, (Code E), the appearance is striking at any angle. Utilising the same competition-developed Type 49 heavy duty, 2-door body as the Escort Mexico and RS1600, the panel fit is perfect. Obvious flared wheel arches to accommodate the wide sports road wheels and Blue decals distinguish this model but perfectionists will spot the finer details such as FoMoCo lenses and IODE H4 Cibe headlights amongst many more features. For those enjoying the show circuit, the immaculate underside is finished in body colour and is factory perfect with all Type 49 body features such as the reinforced front suspension mounting points and chassis side rails clear to see. Prised from a Ford collector who has pampered this example for 14 years, you can be reassured it is one of the best!

INTERIOR
Body hugging, reclining and luxurious RS seats still trimmed in their original Beta Black fabric, (Code A1), and are immaculate in appearance with a tiny mark to the drivers seat base. Both are fitted with optional and desirable headrests. All of the interior is spotless and fully equipped with an undamaged padded dash. The perforated black headlining and door cards have no rips with attention to detail seen throughout. The sports instrumentation is bright and clear including the correct 130mph and 7000rpm speedometer and tachometer and all switches and controls function. The boot area houses the spare held at an angled position with the correct rubber strap and the boot mat, jack and wheel brace is present. Rare and fragile items such as the rear light protectors and boot parcel cover are present. A wonderful Ford RS interior.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
This rare RS2000 has the 2.0 Ford ‘Pinto’ unit performing faultlessly. Set up and dyno tested by HT Racing Ltd, the 100bhp is confirmed to allow a claimed top speed of 110mph and 0-60mph in 9 seconds. The immaculate engine bay is detailed to a high standard for those wishing to exhibit the car with the bonnet up. The original VIN plate and AVO build plate are a welcome sight and prove the cars specification when built at Aveley and the chassis stamp can be seen on the inner wing. Short snappy gear changes are provided by the factory standard Ford Type-E 4-speed gearbox which is an absolute delight to use.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Correct factory standard spoke-style sport steels measuring 5.5×13 inch are finished in Silver Fox with metallic Pearl Grey with genuine RS centre caps. Period style Dunlop SP Aquajet 165 HR13 radial tyres are fitted to all five rims with masses of tread. The dual-circuit brake system with Girling Hydrovac direct vacuum servo mounted on an extended bracket bolted to the bulkhead works perfectly.

HISTORY FILE
Rallye Sport Escorts including the Mexico, RS1600 and RS2000 were built at Fords Advanced Vehicle Operations factory in Aveley at a rate of just thirty a day. This AVO Club registered example rolled off the production line in March 1974 and was supplied by Haynes Bros.Ltd of Maidstone, one of 73 specially appointed Rallye Sport Dealers. Registered new to a Dr R Edney incredibly this example has only had four former keepers from new. Dr Edney paid extra to have Cryla-Gard rustproofing and the guarantee certificate is still in the history file! The comprehensive history file confirms two further owners worked at Ford RS Dealers, Invicta Motors Ltd of Faversham and Swale Motor Company of Sittingbourne, so the car wanted for nothing being maintained exclusively by Ford until 1986. At this time it was sold by Mike Young Garage in Ilford Essex to the fourth owner, Mr Picknell, who paid extra for the Ultimate Motorplan breakdown and mechanical Insurance and the car had covered 70,952 miles at this point. Owned by him until 2011 when the final keeper and highly regarded Ford collector, Mr Anthony Manning, took ownership and restored the vehicle to a concours level to which it still presents to this day. Supplied with its original service book and handbook in the Haynes of Maidstone A5 wallet, mases of historic invoices and MOT certificates and AVO Club letters, this really is one of the finest Mk1 Ford Escort RS2000 examples available.

The panels are straight with uniform gaps including the original factory front wings with Ford oval logo and number stampings still visible.

INTERIOR
The interior of this super-low mileage Escort RS Turbo is near perfect and remains exactly as Ford intended.

Entirely standard throughout even down to the genuine Ford exhaust and Motorcraft service parts, this is the exact RS Turbo experience Ford intended you to have. The eagle-eyed concours fraternity will note even the tiny white plastic buffer clip to the bonnet catch remains intact. The clean engine bay display all plates and stickers showing impressive originality such as the coloured slam panel body plate having never been painted over. Some light touched in blebs to the slam panel are forgiven seeing as it still wears factory paint. The 5-speed manual gearbox is light and precise.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The instantly recognisable RS Turbo alloy wheels are immaculate with clearly defined part number and size stamping often lost upon heavy refurbishment. Five matching premium Dunlop SportBluResponse 195/50 R15 tyres have covered approximately 1500 miles aside from the spare which is unused. This fast Ford icon stops as well as it goes with the ABS braking system designed in conjunction with Lucas Girling working perfectly.
