Stuart Whelham

Mk3 Fiesta

This car might have originally been built exclusively for hillclimbs by a previous owner, but for some reason the plan was abandoned, and Stuart then bagged this widearched Fiesta with a bargain offer on eBay. Since starting its new life as a show piece and hooligan-mobile, Stuart has treated it to a few upgrades and improvements. The most handy being a remote fuel filler, as the original builder had left it awkwardly hidden behind the new kit!

One area that needed no improvement was the 177bhp 2-litre Zetec that happily roars away on Jenveys, and is managed by a budget, but more than capable Megasquirt ECU. Add Stuart’s favourite mod of a hydraulic handbrake into the mix, and he’s got the ideal spec for an outand-out hilariously fun Fiesta.
