No problems with petrol engine, not quite as good with the diesels.....buy with confidence and care.....there are loads around. Mobility cars are the ones to look at and they will have service history for the first 3 years at least.
Class leading cars in their day, but the rustproofing isn't all it should be.
Regular oil changes are vital, they bust front springs and are dead easy to maintain.

I already have the 1:25 Fiesta so know that engine suits me not the fastest but reliable.
My wife has spotted a 1:4 petrol low mileage may be worth a look .
