AI Listing Summary
This 1988 Ford Fiesta XR2 in Rosso Red is a desirable 80s hot hatch with desirable period features like pepper pot alloys and wider arches.

Condition
7
The car is described as a Rosso Red Fiesta XR2 with 15,880 miles and a valid MoT until July 2026. It has passed its recent MoT with few miles covered. Recent maintenance includes new spark plugs, HT leads, fuel pump, brake hoses, and a coolant sensor. The cambelt was also replaced by the previous owner. While it retains its iconic XR2 features, the description doesn't explicitly mention perfect or near-perfect condition, suggesting it falls into the 'Very Good' category with potential for minor wear typical of a car from 1988.

Description
This Rosso Red Fiesta XR2, powered by Ford's 1.6-litre CVH engine, was first registered on 3rd June 1988 and shows 15,880 miles on its odometer.
The Mo
T was passed less than 10 miles ago and is valid until 10th July 2026.
Features include pepper pot alloys, front air dam, wider arches and signature XR badging which made the XR2 such an unmistakably iconic hot hatch of the 1980s.
The last change of keeper was in 2019, and we are advised that the cambelt was replaced in the previous owner's tenure.
Recent maintenance (at 15,872 miles) comprised new spark plugs, HT leads, fuel pump, brake hoses and a coolant sensor.
It comes with its V5C, handbook, and a couple of recent parts receipts and Mo
T certificates.
