The party’s over. Or rather the Fiesta. After 47 years of production the last Ford Fiesta will roll off the production line at the company’s factory in Cologne, Germany, on Friday.
It was the first front-wheel drive car made by Ford for the global market and was even sold in the US, a nation not known for its love of small cars.
But although Ford is an American company, the Fiesta has always felt like it’s as British as warm beer.
