In the picturesque town of Lisse, Netherlands, Nathalia, widely recognized on Instagram as @blackandbeasty, shines as a beacon of resilience and passion in the Ford community. Her journey began with a modest Ford Escort CL, igniting a love for agile and stylish vehicles. Fast forward 22 years, Nathalia has owned an impressive lineup of approximately 35 Ford vehicles, culminating in her current pride and joy: a Ford Fiesta MK8 ST3, fondly named “Black and BeaSTy.”

These upgrades ensure Black and BeaSTy turns heads wherever it goes, perfectly reflecting Nathalia’s bold personality.
