Daný model nebol luxusným vozidlom, patril však k jedným z najpredávanejších áut v Spojenom kráľovstve; predalo sa z neho viac ako 4,1 milióna kusov. Podobné vozidlá možno v súčasnosti nájsť v inzerátoch za približne 10.000 libier (11.800 eur).
Auto šoférovala v sprievode člena kráľovskej ochranky
Predmetný automobil vyrobila spoločnosť Ford podľa Dianiných osobných špecifikácií, a podľa dražiteľov sa predpokladá, že ide o jedinú čierno lakovanú verziu tohto modelu.
Dianu často fotografovali za volantom pri návšteve obchodov a reštaurácií v Londýne. Princezná šoférovala toto auto s členom kráľovskej ochranky na sedadle spolujazdca a bolo vybavené prvkami ako druhé spätné zrkadlo či vysielačka.
