Ford Fiesta

Well that's a start.
But it also had another name which I need; and who built it and when?
I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to give you a head-start since you found the basis.

You've got the car all right, and its name (or part of it anyway) is on its rear number-plate...
But I'll have to check into the Patrick le Quement connection.  Although he worked at Ford around this time believe he was in Detroit whilst this car is a Carrozzeria product..

1983 is right but still awaiting the name of the Carrozzeria.

And it's still locked for you.

Right, you've had it locked now for nearly a week and you haven't replied so after 24 more hours I'm going to open it up again.
It's 95% answered - I just need the Carrozzeria it came from and someone will get a point.  Will it be you Max?

Sorry, but I don't know.

One of the simplest answer. Is this Ghia? ;D

The obvious answer can also be the right answer!
You've got your point.
My source called the car the Ford Fiesta 'Libra i Ghia' but have no idea if that is good Italian or not!
Perhaps PJ can enlighten us if that really can be its name!
