Ford Fiesta Centura

Ford has decided to celebrate its first 100 years in Britain with a limited edition based on the 1.25 litre Fiesta Zetec.

On the face of it, not the most exciting thing the firm could have done, but in fact it’s rather fitting. After all, Ford’s forte has always been affordable, decent family cars, so why not use the most popular one from the current range to help mark the anniversary?

Only 1,000 examples of the Fiesta Centura will be built and, like its Model T ancestor, buyers can have it in any colour as long as it’s black. Although, in this case, that means Panther Black metallic.

Extra specification includes 16” seven-spoke alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, chrome door mirror caps, reverse parking sensors, a reversing camera and automatic headlights and windscreen wipers.

Exclusivity isn’t particularly cheap, though. The three-door Fiesta Centura is priced at £13,395, while the five-door costs £13,995. In both cases, that’s £1,200 more than the equivalent Zetec version.
