| Run-out limited edition | 2008 Ford Fiesta ST500 |
Ford will launch its all-new Fiesta at the end August, but before then we have the limited edition ST500 to content ourselves with. As the name suggests, only 500 of these retro-look STs will be made and it costs from £15,000.
There are no mechanical upgrades for the ST500, but it does get a paint job reminiscent of the 1980's Escort RS2000. With metallic black paint and unique 'U'-shaped silver stripes on the bonnet and sides, the ST500 would be more than worthy of Bodie or Doyle from the 'Professionals'.
Other unique ST500 features include 11-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels with a black finish, red brake calipers, a carbon fibre pattern fabric for the interior trim and black leather seats. There's also an uprated Sony stereo.
