Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1981 Ford Fiesta L is a championship-winning race car, featuring a Cosworth 1380cc X-Flow engine and a rare Hewland gearbox. It's been prepared for hill climbs and sprints, though its safety equipment and logbook need updating.
Despite a small rust spot on the passenger door, the shell is noted as solid and corrosion-free, making it a strong contender for its intended competitive use with some attention.
Condition
6
The car is described as having a solid, corrosion-free, unwelded/repaired shell, but there is a small rust area on the front passenger door. The FIA safety equipment (seat, harness, extinguisher) is out of date, and the MSA logbook requires renewal. These factors indicate a 'Good' condition, requiring some reconditioning.
