About this car

A 1989 Ford Fiesta Mk2 that looks like a base Popular Plus but hides a 2.0-litre Silver Top Zetec engine from a low-mileage Mk1 Mondeo. It left Cologne as a 1.1 and was registered new in March 1989 through Trimoco Ford in Chelmsford.

The conversion is thorough: Jenvey throttle bodies, a KMS ECU, an Ashley manifold and exhaust, and a rebuilt Series 2 Escort RS Turbo gearbox with a limited-slip differential. Around 150bhp is claimed, against 49bhp originally. XR2 brakes, beam and driveshafts, Gaz coilovers and banded steel wheels complete the chassis. Inside are Escort RS Turbo front seats retrimmed in the original Popular fabric.

The dealer notes minor markings and some remedial paintwork from close up. It has been featured in Performance Ford and Classic Ford, and copies are in the history file. It shows 36,677 miles, has an MOT to April 2027 and is HPI clear.
