Ford has created a special edition version of its Fiesta to tackle the British winter weather.

The Fiesta Zetec Blue is based on the Style Climate model but features body coloured bumpers, handles, mouldings and door mirrors, front fog lights, rear spoiler, leather steering wheel with aluminium trim, single slot Sony CD player, 16-inch seven-spoke sport alloy wheels, electrically operated and heated door mirrors, air conditioning and Quickclear heated windscreen.

Customers can choose from three or five doors, 1.25-litre 73bhp, 1.4-litre 78bhp and 1.4-litre 66bhp TDCi engines. There are also two new interior trims: pacific pearl and pacific dusk.

On-the road prices start at £9,995 for the 1.25-litre, three-door model, up to £11,595 for the 1.4-litre TDCi, five-door model.
