Crew cab is an option for $$$$
[QUOTE=M-R-P;569898]You serious Duane? Remember the Holden ute on topgear?[/QUOTE] oh yeh, i remember the Maloo. Just never seen a crew-cab version before
http://www.pbcars.com.au/cars/uploads/Products/product_252/5.jpg I guess not many people would go for the crew cab option, kinda ruins the lines.

I'm guessing it was the coupe, they did look like a hatchback, even though it had a proper boot. This one was at Ford Fair in 2009:

And too make it worse the dude in the back ground in white tee shirt and jeans is interfering with himself!....pocket billiards anyone bloody saxo driver!
Tony.
Maybe you'll prefer this one from Ford Fair 2011:
Still wasn't quite standard though:

The 1.3L badge made me smile :D
It started life as a 1.1 popular...... the 1.3 badge is a lie..lol

that 3 door is the muts,stunning motor, not too sure about that fiesta lol
I like the fiesta don't see many mk 1 or 2s like that one anymore and they always felt faster than the newer ones, I had mk1 1.1 l and although it only went upto 100 on the speedo it used to scream just passed it every day sure it was a death trap rot box and I used to get pulled by the police rather a lot as it eat light bulbs but I've got to thank it for in 1995 I got to sit in a t5 for the first time and see how quick one span round and caught up with me ;-)

Not sure what's been done to it but it's up there with one of the quickest cars I've driven it was ridiculously fast. I agree it looks so chavtasticly sh@t that it's funny have a laugh at these pics.
You any idea how rare those 3 door Granny's are?....Fek me the guy with the orange one wants it pushing up his posterior.
I agree it looks like a bag of spanners, I was embarrassed to drive it without a balaclava
i didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to buy one, buy yes its an Aston Martin Cygnet
