Hope this is okay to post here:

2008 Ford Fiesta ST in stunning condition.

2008 Ford Fiesta ST
Frozen white
125k
1 previous owner
MOT expires March 2020
Full service history included, I have every receipt, service schedule, MOT and tax disc including its original bill of sale, both keys and all documentation.

Please do not confuse this with the usual rubbish you will find for sale, and priced accordingly.

• OE remote Sony CD/MP3 player with aux input
• Electric mirrors
• Half leather
• Heated front/rear screen
• Auto headlights
• Rain sensing wipers
• OE ST side decals

Tastefully enhanced with the following additions:

• Milltek 4 branch stainless exhaust manifold
• Milltek stainless catback exhaust system (sporty but sensible tone)
• Ram Air induction
• Mountune MP165 map
• Remote power steering cooler with PAS fluid filter
• Vibratechnics roll restrictor
• Ford approved Eibach sportline springs
• H&R wheel spacers
• Full ST170 brake upgrade


I am the second owner, as I purchased from a friend 2.5years ago who bought it new. He is a mature gentleman who kept in impeccable condition and only sold due to the arrival of a new RS Focus. Both of us are Ford development engineers and are fastidious when it comes to caring for vehicles.
As both the original owner and I are mature, the car has been driven sensibly throughout, and regularly returns over 40mpg.

This car truly is the possibly one of the nicest examples of a used ST150 you are ever likely to find outside of a collection. Yes it’s be used but cared for unlike any other, read on to find out why.

Garaged for the first 8 years of ownership, the paintwork has barely any swirls and detailed with Gtechniq weekly. It has zero dents, no scratches, rust or damage. Just the odd stone chip are is all that will age the car. Worn tasteful mud flaps its entire life so skirts are chip free and all jacking covers in place.
All original paint/glass and panels with the exception of the front bumper that was replaced 2018 due to someone bumping and cracking it in the snow. I replaced it with a genuine brand new Ford part so its mint. All plastics are glossy and original.

Interior is perfect with hardly any wear on any surface. Drivers bolster is mint and the rear seats have never been sat in in previous ownership and only twice in myownership. Genuine OE rubber mats from new have protected the inside as has the optional OEM Ford boot liner. Everything works perfectly and the AC is nice and cold.


Tasteful modifications are recent with the addition of some Eibach lowering springs due to a snapped OEM spring in March 2017. Full Milltek system in May 2018. I added to that a Ram Air induction kit and the Mountune MP165 calibration to free it up a bit. Now the ST drives like it should from the factory with a sporty note and pulls strongly through the rpm range.

Braking performance has also received an upgrade with the full ST170 300mm/280mm front/rear braking package.
This was completed using all OEM Motorcraft parts and allows the braking balance to be completely OEM and as designed from the factory. The brake calipers were overhauled and at the same time and genuine ST170 disc shields fitted for that 100%, OEM fit/finish.

Another common complaint of the ST150 is the overheating of the power steering fluid, which often results in premature wear of the PAS pump and steering rack. I have addressed this with the addition of a standalone PAS cooler and filter to keep all the steering system in the best possible condition.

All tyres are new matching Michelin Pilot Sport 4s fitted April 2019. Wheels have zero damage or blemishes except one small scuff on a NSF I did recently.
Spare wheel is a full sized ST alloy with Michelin PS3 tyre; OEM space saver will also be included.

If you imagine a 30k mile fiesta ST, that is the kind of condition you will find here. Starts on the button, runs, drives like new with no squeaks, rattles or noises. Gearbox and change is slick with no issues, brakes and tracks perfectly, damping is firm and tight like new with no knocks or noises whatsoever. Underside is dry with no leaks or issues.

It is so hard to price a car like this, as I truly believe there is not another in as good condition or with such complete history.
Genuine car, enthusiast owned and not to be confused with the usual rubbish. Yes the miles may put some off, but these miles have been done due to a long work journey on A & B roads and the car has been maintained impeccably.
There are worse condition cars out there priced higher than this, and with less miles!

This car needs to be viewed and driven, as photos do it no justice whatsoever. I hate to use such a cliché;however, the first person to view it will drive it away without doubt.



• Timewasters and tyre kickers need not apply.
• No test drives without proof of full UK driving licence and deposit.

Vehicle situated in Maldon, Essex
Any questions, please ask and I will be happy to help in any way I can.


£3950

PS
I’ve no doubt and fully expect the pricing police to be out in force.

That’s absolutely fine and if it’s too expensive then this isn’t the car for you. There’s plenty others out there to chose from.

It’s not your usual rubbish and it’s price reflects that.

Thanks for reading.

Some feedback on your ad - it’s a bit light on detail ?

I jest, if only they were all like this! Good luck with your sale and search.

Thank you sir, its not an easy car to sell as most folk looking at one of these are young and looking at examples for £1500/£2k.
Its just too nice to let go for pennies and i need to raise as much as possible to buy a Trophy.
