Ford Fiesta (first generation, Mk1)

The first Fiesta was the first multi national front wheel drive car from Ford Europe, a small three door hatchback that was also sold as a panel van. It was developed under the project name Bobcat, approved in September 1972, and was the smallest car Ford had yet built, aimed at rivals such as the Fiat 127 and Renault 5. Its transverse engine drove the front wheels through a four speed gearbox, and it was built in Valencia, Dagenham, Saarlouis and Cologne. Each model year has its own page.
