Equipment & Resources
Children's toy the Cozy Coupe has become the nation's best-selling car, as it outsold market leader Ford Fiesta by 30 per cent last year.

Ford sold 109,625 Fiestas in 2012, while 156,693 Cozy Coupes were bought in the UK.

Since the Cozy Coupe's inception in 1979 it has sold more than 22 million worldwide.
