For Sale 1991 Ford Sierra 1.8 LX - £950 ono

[trigger]

As you've probably read on here I've bought Mr_Lobsters Seat Toledo as i needed something a bit newer for my wife to use (plus i wanted something quicker again!) so my Sierra is now surplus to requirements.

 

I bought it earlier this year of a friend after it had been in his barn since 2006 and spent numerous weekends and lots of money getting it back on the road again, It passed it's first MOT in 9 years a couple of months back and has been my faultless daily driver since doing around 1000 miles.

 

In the time I've had it I've fitted.

 

• New cambelt & waterpump.
• New Valve stem seals and RC gasket
• New fuel pump
• New front discs and pads and flexi hoses
• New rear shoes, cylinders, brake pipes and a new handbrake cable
• A full service with dizzy cap, rotor arm, plug leads etc.
• New battery
• Refurbished 15" Cossie alloys with good tyres and genuine Ford locking nuts
• Tank removed and cleaned out

 

It now drives great and is getting better the more i use it, there's a couple of small faults to keep you busy though.

 

• The fuel gauge doesn't work, we did clean the sender unit when we removed the tank and it does fire up the gauge, if you fill the tank it works but after 100 miles it drops down again so all i do is keep the tank full and reset the mileometer and just top it up every 200 miles or so.
• The starter motor has just started every now and then to stick a little and you can hear the bentix is a little slow to return, this hasn't bothered me as it still works without any issue but it might need changing at some point, it's a easy and cheap job though.
• There's a shallow dent on the offside rear quarter, again it's very minor.
• I repaired a small dint on the bonnet as well a scab on the dented rear quarter, both repairs are spot on but i stupidly used Halfords pre-mixed paint so the colour is slight darker, it's nothing major though.
• The original radio doesn't work so it currently has a CD player in it.

 

There's a well filled in service book and paperwork, everything works, electric windows, proper sunroof and central locking and it has two keys. The original steel wheels and tidy wheel trims are included although they will need tyres. 

 

This is a lovely old bus which you can't lose money on, either use it as a interesting daily driver or sort out my dodgy paint match and take it to shows next year and get your money back and more next summer.

Westwood and Clark dealer stamps! Marvellous.

[trigger]

They owned it for about 18 months when it was 6 months old!

[fordperv]

Shame your getting rid trig after all your work, at least it's another that's been saved and put back on road, glwts someone's going to get a decent motor

[plasticvandan]

Didn't it sell on eBay?

[Vantman]

Nice motor Trigger, wrong gearbox for me though. GLWTS.

[trigger]

Didn't it sell on eBay?

Sadly not. I feel a bit short of what I was after. It's a really nice car and I'm not just saying that.

[plasticvandan]

No point giving stuff away,crap time of year for selling mind.

[trigger]

If it doesn't sell I'll put it on sorn over winter and see if my dad would mind storing it for me until the new year.

[plasticvandan]

I found the period between Xmas and new yr good for selling,lots of drunk people sat on their internets,and not much appearing for sale to choose from.

[trigger]

My dad just said I can store it at his so I'm going to take it there and if anyone wants to buy it they can collect it from his.

 

It will be in Colchester, Essex from tomorrow.

[Felly Magic]

Might be wise hanging on until spring Triggs if you can, you might get decent money for it then as demand for old school motors picks up, Chrimbo time is never really a good time to sell

[purplebargeken]

Colchester you say....... where exactly in Colchester? I mean house number, street name and postcode

 

Keep hold of it. You will regret selling it. 

[bub2006]

Nice looking motor. Didnt some sierras this late still have no pas? Good luck with sale all the same.

[Felly Magic]

Late pre facelift model too

[Split_Pin]

Fantastic motor, everything done to it and very useable. I love Sierras.

I fucking hate it when a plan comes together that involves me spending money. Arses.

[sierraman]

I had one same spec and year. Lovely car, mine had the blue velour interior with a blue dash that used to come up nice with armour all.

Bloody nice car btw.

How the hell do you get away with all these purchases? If I quietly mention that the OH's car could do with some new wiper blades I get a look like I've killed a puppy in front of her.

[JohnK]

Mrs JK only has a whinge every now and then. As long as she has some money to buy clothes and handbags I can usually get away with it.

[HillmanImp]

See this is up for sale AGAIN. This time for £3,275.

Thats a 344% return over 4 years if it does sell for anything near that. 

It won't though. 

[Kringle]

Top detective work there. I didn't notice the date and I began to reach for my whimpering wallet, phew.

[trigger]

Considering its probably had about another 4-5 owners since I sold it then its doing well!

I also like the fact that on the ebay ad it says its never been welded but I remember plating up the sills!

Remember 2015, when you still had half a chance of picking up a RWD Ford under a grand?

Sierras seem to have suddenly been discovered by the old skool brigade and catapulted into the "HOW MUCH???" price bracket.

Shame, as I quite like them, but not in a three grand sort of a way
