The Ford Fiesta is a car close to the heart of many drivers. Nearly everybody has owned, or knows someone who has owned, one of these ubiquitous superminis!
National Numbers have some brilliant number plates for the Ford Fiesta.
The Mark 1 Ford Fiesta made its debut in 1976. The car’s engine was dubbed ‘Valencia’, due to the location of the Spanish factory that produced engines for the car in Almussafes, Valencia.
The car was also produced in the UK and Germany, but the name definitely seems to originate from Spanish roots, and was personally chosen by Henry Ford above all other suggested names.
The Fiesta name has prevailed for 30 years, despite several major overhauls of the car engine and design. But it almost was not so.
Head honchos at Ford recently toyed with the idea of changing the name. According to Autocar, “nearly as many people inside the company voted to drop the Fiesta name from the new supermini, as wanted to keep it”.
The Fiesta has come a long way since the 1970s. Since then, 12 million Fiesta’s have been made. What Car? awarded the Fiesta Car of the Year 2009, and voted it Best Supermini, as well. The Fiesta Mark VII marks several generations of an extraordinarily long vehicle model history.
National Numbers have some great Fiesta number plates:
F13 STA is the best possible match to the name Fiesta. F16 STA is almost as good. FEG 1Y looks and sounds just like ‘Feggy’! You could also go for F7 ORD.
