KEY FACTS
This Ford Sierra RS Cosworth is a desirable 1980s performance icon in rare European ‘non-sunroof’ specification and with low mileage.
Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four, delivering around 204bhp to the rear wheels via a Borg-Warner five-speed manual transmission.
This left-hand-drive example was originally registered in France, where it is believed to have had just one owner, and has since been imported to the UK where it is now registered with the DVLA.
It has covered 69,230 kilometres from new.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES
The car is finished in Moonstone Blue over a grey velour-trimmed cabin featuring red patterned seat inserts.
It rides on a set of 15-inch Rial alloy wheels, fitted with Uniroyal tyres.
Equipment includes the distinctive ‘whale tale’ rear wing, electric windows, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and a Pioneer stereo.
Accompanying the sale is the owner’s book pack, service book, V5C, and import paperwork.
