The all-new Ford Fiesta is available to buy in the UK now, an event marked by a tango dance 'extravaganza' at the Tower of London.
Stunt drivers drove Squeeze Green and Hot Magenta models to perform a unique Tango car dance, specially created by choreographer to the stars Paul Harris and international stunt driver Paul Swift.
Strictly Come Dancing winner Mark Ramprakash and Tango troupes from across London joined in the party atmosphere.
Hosting the party was Ford of Britain's chairman and managing director, Roelant de Waard, who said: "We created the new Fiesta with a real passion and we’re confident that it’s the car the nation is about to fall in love with and so what better way to launch it than with the classic dance of love – the Tango!"
