Cherry Minter Mk5 Fiesta

Nobody ever said you have to spend a fortune to have a cool car! And Cherry’s Mk5 Fiesta five- door proves just that. Once a £300 runaround, the cool hatch now features a 1.7-litre Puma engine, replacing the little 1.25-litre unit originally fitted. Banded steels fill the arches nicely and don’t break the bank either! As for paint, well how does matt purple chalkboard paint applied with a roller sound? Horrific, yes. But it actually looks quite cool. And there was a reason for the budget paint job – so that Cherry’s three-year old son can scribble all over the car if he starts to get bored at shows, without causing any damage. Genius. Try doing that with your Focus RS!
