Ford Fiesta Mk1 Supersport Black from Corgi's Vanguards range.
Based on the 1.3S, the Supersport offered 4-spoke RS Alloys, grey or red
Carla trim, a body kit, side decals and Carello front spots for a bargain price
of £4564.09. Only available in Sunburst Red, Black, Diamond White or Strato
Silver, it was launched in 1980 and only 3000 were produced; few now
survive.
The car modelled was first registered on 1st January 1981 and bought by South
Derbyshire-based enthusiast Mark Birkinshaw in 1993. He embarked on a
restoration in 1995/6 which included a total mechanical rebuild and the fitment
of various new panels, including front wings, because it had rusted badly. Since
then, Mark has won many trophies with his Supersport, including best Fiesta at
Ford Fair.
