M.O.T. – February 2026
Odometer – 131,500
Resplendent in Ford’s lustrous Infra Red, this example of the performance Mondeo ST220 is offered at no reserve. Powered by the firm’s 3.0-litre V6, ‘ST03 FLG’ features a five-speed manual gearbox, and the flagship Mondeo put out more than 220hp when new. This five-door hatchback model features the 16-spoke alloy wheels, and discreet spoiler and bumper kit that made it so popular with those wanting a ‘Q-Car’ in its time. Although also popular model for use as unmarked police cars, few constabulary models would feature the red leather interior found in ‘ST03 FLG’, or its factory-fitted heated sports Recaro seats up front.
Displaying an indicated 135,947 miles on the odometer, this Mondeo ST220 has been carefully looked after, with a well-documented history. In fact, the current vendor has owned the Ford for the past 17 years, and the service book has 14 stamps in it. ‘ST03 FLG’ comes with owners’ manuals, as well as invoices from over the years, which include recent work carried out such as a new clutch and master cylinder fewer than five years ago, a last service in April of last year, and MOT with no advisories. The seller rates ‘ST03 FLG’ highly, reckoning all aspects of the Mondeo ST220 are ‘good’, including the engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paint, and interior.

Ford’s Mondeo range was launched in 1993, pitched as a ‘world car’, with Ford wanting to offer the same model in multiple markets, and design shared between the company’s US and European bases. It proved a huge hit in the UK, with the phrase ‘Mondeo Man’ even coined, using Ford’s family saloon moniker and further adding to its reputation. The first generation survived until 2000, when it was replaced with the second generation model – the MkII name had been used in the previous generation to describe a comprehensive facelift. This second generation Mondeo also saw the arrival of the ST220 – the flagship model in the range, featuring a newly-developed 3.0-litre V6. It was well received by the motoring press of the time for not only its punchy performance, but also its handling prowess, something shared across much of the Ford passenger car range of the time. As such, the Mondeo ST220 is quickly becoming a ‘modern classic’. It lasted until 2007, when the third generation Mondeo was launched.
