rag top ford fiesta 'fly' spotted...

[johnbaz]

in the abbeydale tesco store carpark in sheffield last sunday!

 

 

 

anyone like her??, i know my lad would, he's had a few XR2's and always loved 'em

 

if she were mine, the 'fly' stickers would get peeled off

 

otherwise i would have liked to have seen her with her top down (ooooer missus )

 

i hope thaty whoever did the conversion, reinforced the sills so it doesn't fold up

Im sure that Crayford built these. And only a handful of about 25.Looks in good nick, however if it were mine I dont think I would take it out in the pissing rain!

[johnbaz]

it absolutely hammered down and the carpark entrance was a foot deep in flood...it didn't occur to me that this could have been an original soft top i really thought somwone had converted it in their lock-up john

according to the internetzzz only 7 crayford xr2 convertibles were ever made, so this is super rare!

[Guest Tony Hayers]

Yeah, I quite like the Mk1 Fiesta

sorry for the long link.

Apparently the 1300 Ghia model is the 'more common' fiesta fly, with over 25 made, but the XR2 is the rarer of the two. Regardless, what an excellent spot

Yeah id give one a go , ive had a few xr2's and they are great fun, although im wondering how much chopping the roof would affect the handling?
