It's a Christmas decoration for a florist shop. Santa's sleigh!!! to delight the little ones. I had to wait to get a picture at night after the snow melted off the top to show the lights. Note Santa is in the last convertible with top down!!! All the cars have valid license plates from what I could tell. I am inferring they all run.

Right you are, Fin. I was struck by how small the 1100 looks. I've been inside an MG1100 and they're quite roomy inside, one could carry five adults in a pinch.

Ford Fiesta.
 
When I looked at other images to "verify" my guess, your photo flopped up as a Fiesta Festival.
 
Back in the heyday of my '82 Tercel, a good friend was having equally good luck with her Fiesta (reliable, fun to drive, etc.). So I'm guessing this one is around an 81 or 82. (Well, reading the fine print I guess this one was no newer than a 1980?).

"Reliable" is aword I would not use for a Fiesta Mk1.

Ah, her's was a jewel and she put a lot more miles on her car than I did on my Tercel. Ford has made some 12 million Fiesta now over the last 30 years.

I, too, step forward courageously to defend the Fiesta's basic good nature.

Another Former Fiesta owner here.
 
Mine was reliable for the 2 yrs I owned it (other than an incurable, intermittent, mild front-end shake).
 
The impression it gave me was that it was not nearly as substantial & secure feeling as its VW rivals (since I had a MK1 Scirocco at the same time).
