The cult 1970s supermini - Renault 5. This is a fascinating insight into a motoring classic and its legacy.
The Ford Fiesta has been one of the most successful superminis and one of Britain's most popular cars for decades. First launched in 1976, the Fiesta was a front-wheel drive 'world car' that was Ford's answer to the successful Renault 5 and Fiat 127. As this book shows, the Fiesta went on from strength to strength, establishing itself as the ubiquitous second car, student's car and learner's car. In this readable book, motoring expert Mark Bradbury explores the design and development of the Fiesta as Ford sought to produce a small car for the modern city driver. The book covers the launch and reception by the public and motoring press and the production of the now classic Mk 1, 2 and 3 models. The book also covers the sporty Fiestas, including the RS and turbo versions as well as derivatives and variants, including vans, the Ka and the Puma. Bringing us right up to date with the latest models, the book also reflects on the legacy of the Fiesta as it reaches the end of its production. With new information and insights and accompanied by a full range of illustrations, this is a concise and complete guide to a highly regarded and much-loved car.
