• Ford has announced changes to its Fiesta and Transit van ranges.
The Fiesta L is replaced by the LX, which comes with a stereo radio-cassette, 155series tyres, new seat trim materials, door panels and carpet, dipping interior mirror, bodyside moulding and passenger vanity mirror. Price will be the same as the previous L model.
The Fiesta Popular also gets the treatment, adding an AM/ FM radio, new trim materials, front door bins, bodyside moulding and 145-series tyres to the equipment list. Again, there is no increase in price.
The changes are clearly designed to compete with the Vauxhall Novavan which was launched at the Birmingham Motor Show in September.
A new model joins the Transit line-up, based on the 80 Popular petrol model. Called the "Bonus", it has intermittent wash-wipe, rear mudflaps, cloth trim, a sliding side loading door, clock, dipping mirror, trip recorder, glovebox lid, cigar lighter, door stowage bins and special wheel covers. The price of the "Bonus" is 28,350 (ex-VAT).
