⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The Ford Fiesta Supersport stands today as one of the most desirable early performance Fiestas - a model that bridged the gap between humble runabout and hot-hatch icon.

Introduced as a limited-run sporty trim prior to the arrival of the XR2, the Supersport brought bold styling, lively character and unmistakable 1980s attitude to Ford’s celebrated supermini.

With its distinctive graphics, uprated suspension, sports interior and standout road presence, the Supersport became an instant enthusiast favourite. Survivors are now increasingly sought-after, not only for their rarity but also for their pure, analogue driving feel. The unmistakable experience of a lightweight, carb-fed Ford from a golden era of performance motoring.

This particular 1981 example comes to market from ~3.5 years with our vendor, who has cherished the car and enjoyed its retro charm. Finished in its classic Supersport livery with the correct decals, stripes and interior details, the car presents as an honest and characterful example of this now-collectable model. The interior retains its iconic tartan-style seat centres, the body displays the hallmark Supersport styling cues, and the engine bay houses its familiar, straightforward Kent motor.

A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Supersport, this Fiesta represents an appealing blend of originality, retro flair and classic Ford heritage ready to be enjoyed, lightly improved, or preserved as a charming survivor of early 1980s performance culture.
