Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1981 Ford Fiesta L is a championship-winning race car built by Philspeed with a Cosworth 1380cc X-Flow engine and a Hewland gearbox. While the shell is solid and corrosion-free, it requires an experienced racer and some safety equipment updates and logbook renewal.

Condition 

7

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 The FIA safety equipment (seat, harness, extinguisher) is out of date, and the MSA logbook requires renewal.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 points indicate it's in very good condition but requires some attention and reconditioning for its intended competitive use.
