The 1982 motor, which was bought missing its doors, seats and engine, now looks brand new and has been dubbed “possibly the finest in existence.
”Following five years of painstaking work, the hatchback has been kitted out with a 1.6 litre engine, and a pristine black and white two-tone body with a red stripe down the sides.
The Fiesta XR2 was a popular motor with boy racers in the 1980s, but is now deemed a collectors’ item.
The car has less than 90,000 miles on the clock, and has been put up for sale with H&H Classics of Warrington, Cheshire.
Their auctioneers have given the restored Fiesta an estimated value of £22,000, and said it is the best example of the XR2 they have ever seen.
They said the hatchback is likely to sell for much more than their pre-sale estimate.
A spokesperson for the classic car dealer said: “This is the best Fiesta XR2 we have ever seen and possibly the finest in existence.
“It is simply stunning and has been painstakingly professionally restored over a five-year period by the vendor.
“The quality and attention to detail is absolutely staggering.”
They said that the car has original Ford parts that mirror its original design.
