No way! 'Sad face' Fiesta IV was a quantum leap forward compared to puddingy MK3. 

But then I would say that as a 'proud' Puma driver. 

They were total dross, no sports model in the line up, fugly face, the little zetecs burned oil because even the dealers didn't realise they needed a thinner weight of oil going through them which was in fairness no fault of the excellent engine. They drove well too but boy really any better than the 3.5 model as that had pas and better engines at that point too. 

I can also assure you they shared almost every running gear component with a mk3/3.5 and the later mk5 as well as we changed almost zero tooling until the mk6 model 😉😉😉. 

IMO the worst fiesta ever made and boy could they rust!!!! A whopping 3-4yr model run tells it all,whereas its predecessor did 8 looking pretty much exactly the same all the way through. They were a huge flop in sales for Ford as well compared to the mk3. 

I thought the puma was great though and totally agree with you being proud of owning one, my jaw dropped when I first saw it in the free Ford magazine in work as I thought it was a concept car then a few months later they started selling them, awesome looking things.

My Mum would throw me out the house if I turned up with that thing... I wouldn't necessarily be stuck for somewhere to kip, however.

It is a mk3, well a 3.5 to be a pedant and they don't have a cvh they have a Zetec 1.6 which is a great little motor in them.

That one was showing as 1391cc though - is that not a CVH?  1.4 Zetec is 1388cc.

I  bet if you messaged about that  Merc  in Telford they'd say it was a typo and should be £1500 or something.

Oh no I didn't realise that was an option on them, I thought they all had "16v" on the back. 

That's grim if it is and why it's 500 no doubt.

I think these are probably the best looking  50 ever made, and this  one has been rebuilt by 'the' expert in the field.  £4,600 reserve not met

a 480 turbo and they went to that cantankerous old bugger Lakes of Wyboston near Bedford.

That wasn't a turbo, it was a 1.7 Two Tone edition, it belongs to one of the club members who bought it on the show, it's been a Saga for sure...

That is lush, properly lush. I don't have £5k spare though. I still remember when you could pick one up that was only a few years old for just a few hundred quid 🙄

There are some still (relatively) cheap ones out there, but they're few and far between. One or two of the collectors are snapping them up, ditto the (even rarer) AE50 and 80. 

Had this a while now, not even got close to doing anything with it yet, but it's on the list as would love to get it roadworthy and scream round on it.

May be an image of motorcycle, brick wall, outdoors and text that says "Kawasaki AR50"

Probably a good few. Why anyone would want that though, beats me.

Wow didn't think these came in manual.

Not just the V6 either, I once drove a GTS V8 manual. It was very weird, not unpleasant and pretty quick but just felt wrrong and I found it hard to drive smoothly, which is a bit embarrassing when you’re supposed to be a professional chauffeur!

How much of a faff would importing a car from Sweden and registering it in the U.K.  be?  
Asking for a mate like

This is Norway. And do not think it is a big problem to take cars out of Norway is probably the import to another country that is perhaps more difficult? But I do not know as I have never done it.
