Ford Sierra GL Auto

[Stixy]

Please read all of the thread its better now than it was in the first pics  

----------------------------

 

1989  Sierra 1.8 GL auto 

 

Mot october 2014

no Tax

 

104k 

 

Looks a bit  rough but Runs and drives very well  

 

Previous  owner had the cam belt snap so had a recon head fitted   also had a recon autobox a few years ago  , its had the rear sills welded and doesnt appear to need any other welding

 

Would come up well with a polish 

 

electric front windows , electric locking , no power steering 

 

 

 

 

   

 

Would consider a swap for a Magentis Auto

'Would consider a swap for Magentis auto '

 

I can guarantee that this sentence has not been written before, in the history of evah !

 

Only on Autoshite....etc etc

[mercrocker]

It wouldn't be the first Sierra to be weighed in for a Kia, though.....GLWTS Mr Stix that does not seem a lot  of money for a proper wheel drive Fordy and would be worth putting away for the winter.  If I had room.....

[Stixy]

Im Serious about the Magentis  

[Partridge]

Wow, these are proper rare now! Not my cup of tea personally, but GLWTS

[TRW]

I had to check out the window that Hell hadn't frozen over!

 

Stixy in Sierra sale shocker.

[Negative Creep]

Looks like a good price for one of those. Still nicer looking than the Sapphire IMO

[lisbon_road]

Looks good.  Good luck with the sale. 

[Stixy]

Still here  

[lisbon_road]

Can't believe you still have this Stix.

[Stixy]

I can  

 

Automatic Sierra's are about as popular as leprosy   but its not a problem  its not hurting anything where it is and can wait for the right person 

[Stixy]

Ive got fed up of beating off the crowds of people offering me piles of cash for it  so ive decided to keep it

 

So its had a good polish a set of alloys and a tax disc  

 

 

[lisbon_road]

Now that is what I call a happy ending.  One day our Sierras will be worth a fortune Stix, they're going to have values like Mk1 Escorts and we'll be able to retire.

 

Dream on

[DVee8]

That is a really nice sierra.

Looks well after a polish.

[EssDeeWon]

Blimey that looks nice, is it really the same car?

 

Stick some little Ghia badges on those front wings, you know you've thought about it !!

[RobT]

Looks GR9 with the pepperpots, some of the best wheels ever IMO.

[Lord Sterling]

Sweet as! I've still got a set of Pepperpots laying around somewhere.

Not to mention some GLS bumpers.

 

I'll get me anorak.

[Stixy]

No i couldnt fit Ghia badges  my ocd is at the max with the alloys and front fogs  ...on a GL  !

 

 

 

Two more parts fitted 

 

 

 

Ready to roll !

Pedant mode !

 

They are ghia alloys , pepper pots were the ones on Mk2 xr2s werent they?

Over the years I have heard XR2, Capri Injection ,Sierra Ghia and of course Jag S3 Sovereign. wheels referred to as Pepperpots .

[EssDeeWon]

I thought only the MK2 XR2 wheels were Pepperpots, but I guess Capri and Sierra wheels are near enough the same just a few mere inches bigger.

 

Who remembers dog legs and egg poachers? Great wheel names.

[twosmoke300]

Don't forget the turbines

[Partridge]

Don't forget dartboard steelies. Best wheels EVAH.

[trigger]

I really fancy another Sierra but the nice one's seem to sell straight away (or are overpriced) and everything else seems to end up with people who just want to drift them and wreck them. 

 

That mint A reg burgundy 1.6 Ghia which was recently on ebay and on Retrorides has already started being mess around, ok it's only Pepperpots for now but the guys fitting a tuned 2.0 engine and plans on lowering it etc.

 

[Partridge]

Dislike

[EssDeeWon]

The end of a nice original car.

 

That will end up borked and parked on an overgrown front council garden listed on Ebay as an unfinished project in about 12 months time.

[Shep Shepherd]

Looks superb now that you've polished it

 

Also, I've just rooted out my cassette copy of "The Best of Belinda Volume 1" to listen to in The Wentworth as a result of seeing the interior photos

[Stixy]

Thanks everybody for the positive comments , its really cheered me up today 

[DVee8]

Do you still want £500 for it lol
