Years ago I swapped a knocked off DTR125 for a mint mk1 rung out of its head Fester 1.1s,
I had never heard of a 1.1s, it had the added bonus of indicators in the front wings up where the corner piece of the bumpers are.

The Mk2 escort wide steelies look good on it


Had a couple of Mk 1 1300S Fiesta's years ago and were great little things, like go karts and handled superb, not exaclty fast but no slouch either. Progressed up to the XR2's then and had a mint black one, swapped it for a 1600 Sport Mk2 Escort then and was converted to rwd after that !!!!

One lovingly assembled in Europe,

The other chucked together in the U.K.
