EXTERIOR
Launched in Europe in 1992 by The Ford Motor Company, the first-generation Mondeo was once a very common sight on UK roads, and with this late Verona Special Edition model fast approaching 30 years old, modern classic status is affirmed. This two owner car has covered a fully verified 27,486 miles from new and boasts total originality and outstanding condition. The factory applied Mistral Blue paintwork, (Code 8 4), is virtually flawless and even close scrutiny fails to reveal any imperfections worthy of mention. All trim, plastics, rubbers and badges are pristine and the underside is factory original with perfect structural integrity. Further wonderful originality is found in the supplying Ford dealer number plates, rear screen sticker and even period Radio station stickers that are brilliantly 90’s and very retro! Astonishing both in condition and complete originality, an absolute credit to its two owners.

INTERIOR
The interior of this cossetted example is simply perfect. The original Triangles velour fabric Raven upholstery to the sporty wing-back seats, (Code SH), is spotless with no wear or damage to the material whatsoever. The cut pile carpets are pristine having been protected by two sets of floor mats, one being the original supplying dealership branded set. The headlining is perfect and touch points such as the steering wheel and gear knob show no noticable wear. The driver inclined fascia and incorporated switchgear is as new, and all functions operate seamlessly. The very expensive Blaupunkt Frankfurt stereo, a superb piece of kit, is professionally fitted with no alterations to the dashboard and the original Ford stereo has been kept should the new owner wish to reinstall. An enormously comfortable interior and every inch representative of a 1996 showroom example, truly exceptional.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 1.8i DOHC 16v engine produces a power output of 115bhp and 158Nm of torque allowing a top speed of 121mph and 0-60mph in 10.5 seconds. The pristine engine bay features all factory stickers, plates, panel stamps, PDI markings and even fragile paper labels fully intact. Fastidiously maintained from new and having covered such low mileage, the car performs beautifully and is a joy to drive. The five-speed gearbox is perfect.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original and unique Verona model wheel trims remain fitted to the steel wheels and are in perfect condition. Replacement matching brand 195/60 R15 tyres have masses of tread, and the pristine boot area houses the unused spare and perfect plywood wheel cover disc. Diagonally split dual line brakes with servo assistance bring the car up straight and steady.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on 4th October 1996 by Henlys Ford of Farnborough, this spectacular Special Edition Mondeo Verona has covered a warranted 27,486 miles from new with just two owners. The amazing history file begins with the new vehicle order form and subsequent sales invoice made out to first owner, Mr Page, whereby the purchase price was £12,793.93. All payment receipts and vehicle point of sale documents have been kept. Mr Page was a newly retired engineer, and as such, the Mondeo was a retirement gift from Mr and Mrs Page to themselves and a photograph outside their home with the car on handover day is a wonderful memento in the history file. A large file of service and maintenance invoices as well as all MOT certificates dating back to the first in 1999 is accompanied by a highly detailed maintenance log dating from when the car was new up to 2017. The log was kept as Mr Page, being a retired engineer, carried out much of the vehicle upkeep himself and wanted this to support the service history. The car was owned by Mr Page until September 2022 and there has been just one owner since. Mr Blake purchased the car for nostalgia reasons as his father owned Mondeo’s in the 1990’s and he and his father wanted to recreate journeys they took at the time. The fastidious upkeep has continued with the second owner who now has decided to sell the car with the upcoming birth of his first child and him feeling he will not have the time to give the car the care it deserves.

Absolutely all servicing is fully up to date and since April 2025 alone, the car has had cambelt and water pump, gearbox oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, new exhaust, brake overhaul and engine service. Completing the history file is the full book packs, four Ford keys including the red master and dealer fobs, and an original Mondeo Verona range sales brochure. KGF Classic Cars are privileged to offer this exceptional example that is a true credit to its two owners from new.
