VA14403 Corgi Vanguards Ford Fiesta Mk2 XR2 - Diamond White

Corgi say "The XR2 we’ve based this 1:43 scale Vanguards model on was first registered in April 1988 and was retained by Ford Marketing for guests to drive at Fiesta-related events. It covered high mileage during this time but remained in excellent condition thanks to Ford’s meticulous care.

Ford announced the comprehensively updated Fiesta Mk2 in August 1983, although the XR2 did not appear until 1984. It was worth the wait, as it used the more advanced 1.6-litre overhead cam ‘CVH’ engine, first seen in the Escort XR3. It also had a larger body-kit, rear spoiler, bigger brakes, a rear anti-roll bar, a five-speed gearbox and those now iconic ‘Pepperpot’ alloy wheels. 

Once it was no longer relevant to the company’s current range, it was given to Ford’s Heritage Collection. As an example of the archetypal 1980s hot hatch, in one of the era’s most popular colours, it has been regularly requested by the media and has appeared in Auto Express, Autocar and many other publications. 

In June 2013, it was featured in the studio filming for episode one of series 20 of the BBC’s Top Gear programme, parked alongside two period rivals: a Peugeot 205GTI and a Renault 5 GT Turbo.

It was loaned to the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, Warwickshire, for display between February 2024 and May 2025, and remains in immaculate condition despite having covered almost 100,000 miles.
