2001 Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1.6 mk4/5 - Rare Fast Ford | Future Classic
Up for sale is my 2001 Ford Fiesta Zetec S - a genuine modern classic and an increasingly rare sight on UK roads. According to DVLA data, numbers have dropped significantly over the years, with only a small fraction of these cars still surviving today, making clean examples like this highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors.
As the performance flagship of the Mk5 Fiesta range, the Zetec S is widely regarded as one of the best entry points into the Fast Ford scene. It offers a raw, analogue driving experience that modern hot hatches just don't replicate.
Under the bonnet is the 1.6L Zetec-SE engine - a lightweight, rev-happy inline-4 producing around 100bhp and 145Nm of torque. With a DOHC 16v setup and multi-point fuel injection, it delivers strong, reliable performance paired with excellent driving feel. The car will do 0-60 in just under 10 seconds and reach around 113mph, making it a genuinely fun and usable hot hatch.
With values on the rise and fewer cars left on the road, the Zetec S is quickly becoming recognised as a proper starter classic. Affordable, simple, and backed by a huge enthusiast scene, it's the perfect way into Fast Ford ownership.
A great opportunity to own a piece of Ford hot hatch history, with the specifics below:
54315 Miles, backed up with MOT's and servicing (May go up slightly)
Last MOT didn't have a single advisory and valid until the 15th January 2027
Full service completed January 2026.
Mechanically perfect as per the MOT validation.
Interior reflects the low miles covered, with the Zetec S blue running through it.
Have all the tow eye covers however one loose and I don't want to risk losing it, so in the glove box!
Options on this from factory:
Heated Windscreen
Power wingmirrors
As for downsides, being honest:
The wing mirror covers could do with a spray (Pictured)
There is a slight scuff on the front bumper (Pictured)
Drivers door card pealing at the seal slightly, previous owner tried to repair, but likely needs removing and re-fitted again
Genuine car, not missed a beat, just not using it and it's sat in the garage under a cover and likely better with someone else ready for the Fast Ford summer shows and meets. (Not concourse but a great little car that will only go up in value)
Not in a rush to sell, any silly offers will likely be declined/ignored!
