Ford’s new Ka city car will be priced from £7,995 when deliveries begin in January.

Available with a choice of 1.2-litre petrol or 1.3-litre diesel engines, the funky little car is based on the chassis and running gear of the popular Fiat 500.

And like the 500, Ford is offering customers the chance to personalise their Ka to their own tastes with a wide range of options including body graphics.

All models come with a six-speaker stereo system with MP3 compatibility, while air conditioning, heated windscreen and alloy wheels come in further up the range.
