In 1978 my friend was given a 1.0L Fiesta as a company car. it was great fun and only seemed to know one speed on the motorway - an indicated 100 mph which meant the speedo must have been well out.
I never thought about safety when I was the passenger. At the age of 21 wearing a front seat belt felt constrictive and of course there were no rear belts. Goodness knows what what have happened at top speed with four in the car if we'd hit anything.
It seemed to love being thrashed through the gears and driven as fast as possible. In fact it only broke down (we heard) after it was sold on. Perhaps the new owner was trying to drive it sedately.
It was the car that sticks most happily in my mind during the Summer of 1979 involving the trips to the coast with disco music (yep Earth Wind and Fire) blaring out of the separately fitted stereo. Happy days.

I enjoy the Classic Car Show, but I think it is very expensive, particularly compared with, say, the Motorhome & Caravan Show a couple of weeks before which has free parking and is between a third and a half the price. Read more

As a longstanding fan of Bristol Cars & their engineering I must say the photos are disappointing, but let's wait on the real thing & see.
