Bought the car in October of 2000 when it was 2 years old, it had been my brothers company car so had FFSH and was well looked after and still as new. It stayed standard for a while (see here for how it used to look) until I got bored with it and decided to make a few changes, starting with the stereo system (which has since had several make-overs). It started out as a boring LX but now is nearly to Ghia X spec, and is wearing the RSAP kit, big wheels, has leather and TV, DVD PS2 etc and even a dump valve. The car is a regular attendee at most of the big car shows, and occasional rolling road days and track days.

The car won "Show and Shine" trophy on a club stand at the Interford Show 2004, was pictured in readers cars in Performance Ford Magazine (March 04 issue), pictured in Fiesta in the Park 2003 Show review in PF Magazine (August 03 issue), and was in the mondeo track day feature in Fast Ford Magazine (October 2004 issue)..
