Feature Spotlight: Ellis and the Fezza – Carrying on the Ford Legacy

For Ellis, driving a Ford isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s a family tradition. Based in Swindon, Wiltshire, Ellis grew up around Fords and decided to carry on the legacy in style with his stunning 2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost Turbo. This red rocket isn’t just a car; it’s a symbol of passion, performance, and personality.

About the Fezza

Ellis’ Fiesta, lovingly nicknamed “Fezza,” is a 2017 Fiesta EcoBoost Turbo with an impressive transformation. While the car started with a respectable 140bhp, Ellis’ passion for performance has pushed it to 175bhp, thanks to carefully chosen upgrades. Here’s what makes the Fezza special:

Power and Performance

• Engine Mods: Full Forge Induction Kit, custom Miltek exhaust, and a blow-off valve for that iconic turbo sound.
• Torque: Now pulling an exhilarating 265Nm, this pocket rocket delivers thrills on every drive.
• Acceleration: The Fezza zips from 0-60 in about 8.4 seconds, making it both a practical daily and a performance gem.

Visual Flair

Ellis has added a Full TRC body kit with red pinstripes, a spoiler lip, tinted windows, and custom interior steering wheel trims, giving the Fezza an unmistakable look. Whether parked or cruising down the M4, it’s hard to miss this beauty.

The Journey So Far

Ellis’ favorite memory with the Fezza takes us back to the day he picked it up. On the drive home along the M4, he found himself cruising alongside another Fiesta—a fitting welcome to the Ford community. It’s moments like these that make the bond between car and driver so special.

As a hands-on enthusiast, Ellis works with a trusted mechanic to ensure the Fezza is always at its best. While it’s currently in stage 1 tuning, Ellis dreams of taking it further with stage 2 upgrades and even more visual enhancements.

Community Connection

Ellis is an active member of the Ford community and a part of the vibrant @fezgxng crew. His Instagram page, @ellis.mountz, showcases the Fezza in all its glory—from crisp photography to exciting car meets. His involvement doesn’t stop at photos; Ellis lives and breathes the Ford culture.

What’s Next for Ellis and the Fezza?

Ellis has big plans for his beloved Fiesta. With stage 2 tuning on the horizon and a few more visual mods in the works, this is just the beginning of the Fezza’s journey. As Ellis puts it: “Fords are the best!”
