One of the country's most popular cars is to be discontinued.
After 47 years in production, the last Ford Fiesta will roll off the lot at the Cologne factory tomorrow, reports the Mirror.
The Fiesta was the first front-wheel drive car created by Ford for the market across the world - and had even been sold in the US (who are not known for their enjoyment of smaller cars).
Despite Ford being an American company, the Fiesta has always felt like a British staple, and is as common on the road as Vauxhall Corsas and little Fiat 500s.
Around 22 million of these motors have been sold across the world, and it is a car many first-time drivers have owned at some point.
The Fiesta initially cost £1,854 when it was launched in 1976, and also had the smallest engine available - a 957cc four-cylinder petrol engine called the Valencia engine after where it was built.
There were various versions of the Fiesta, with the 1981 1.3 L Supersport being powered by a 1,300cc engine - which was also used in the Ford Escort.
In 1981 Ford also launched the Fiesta XR2, with round headlamps and attractive features such as alloy wheels.
It wasn't until 1989 for another version of the Fiesta, the MkIII, similar to the MkI and MkII made in previous years.
The MkI and MkII Fiestas could only be bought with three doors or as a van. But, when the MkIII came out in 1989, buyers could get a five-door version.
Ford launched the Fiesta RS Turbo in 1990 that had a then impressive 133bhp.
Other versions were made for racers, such as the Fiesta ST - a sports car that was well-priced, but still had that zippiness racer boys craved.
As the Fiesta went through its sixth and seventh generations, the sophistication also grew within, with DAB radio and safety tech also added.
Now, Ford has chopped the Fiesta from their production line in order to focus on electric cars - and due to the fact that it's now difficult to make a profit on wee cars.
