The final Ford Fiesta rolled off the production line last month, marking the end of 47 years of motoring history for the classic little car.

However, for those who still want to see the popular vehicle, the Lakeland Motor Museum has a fantastic example on display.

This particular Fiesta, a 1980 GL model, has had just two owners from the same family before arriving at the museum.

The vehicle has only covered 40,000 miles and is in pristine condition.

It features some decent extras for its time, including a passenger mirror and a rear parcel shelf.

However, with wind-up windows, no central locking, no power steering, and manually adjusted seats, it's a nostalgic throwback to the 80s.

Since its introduction in 1976, the Fiesta quickly became a hit, particularly with those looking for smaller, more efficient cars.

Over 22 million Fiestas have been produced globally, and it has consistently been the UK's best-selling car.

In fact, it held the title of the country's best-selling vehicle every year from 2009 to 2020.

Right-hand drive versions of the Fiesta were introduced in Britain in 1977, with an initial price tag of £1,856.

These early models had transversely mounted four-cylinder engines and four-speed manual transmissions.

The Fiesta was reportedly originally developed under the project name Bobcat.

Ford's marketing team favoured the name Bravo, but it was ultimately vetoed by Henry Ford II in favour of Fiesta. This decision has now become an integral part of automotive history.

The Lakeland Motor Museum's Fiesta holds a unique aspect that visitors can look out for.

In its rear window, there is a little community of Smurfs, another iconic symbol of the late seventies that gained immense popularity.

The Lakeland Motor Museum, located in Backbarrow, is open seven days a week.
