trigger Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Shame someone's obviously bought it to make a few quid, they will struggle at even £995 though i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I wonder if 100 like minded Shiters donated it to stixy at £9.95 a pop, for safe care and storage? Ultimate Autoshite loan car. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty879 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 if you look beyond the bodywork its an apealling car,well its exactly the sort of thing I would consider,priced to high though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkjagnz Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 $995 Jeez Maybe $9.95 if they chucked in some mints and there was some change under the seat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urko Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 The bodywork is the appealing bit. That F/OS wheel arch/wing damage is a work of art - no conceivable collision could have caused that. strangeangel, Junkman and RayMK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayne Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I wasn't expecting a dangly mirror Sierra when I clicked. I was expecting D701SWL or a Horsey Horseless. trigger, saucedoctor, Junkman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 A real Ford enthusiast will purchase that at the asking and preserve it as it is or restore it to as-new. Unfortunately, no such person really exists so this will likely now be ruined. Junkman, Lord Sterling, AlabamaShrimp and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rml2345 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 That really needs to be bought by the National Trust and preserved for future generations. We can turn up on Sunday afternoons and enjoy guided tours of a miserable old Ford. tapir, michael t, In The Pit and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Sadly, that is doomed at the hands of the philistines with their stupid RS etc plans.

HillmanImp Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 How about a roffle? It would be £16.86 a ticket. A London based Shiter could collect the money and go and rescue te car? vulgalour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Too many monies, I fear. If it were sub £700 I could just about imagine me buying it, running it for a while for shits'n'giggles then raffling it at an acceptable loss, but a bag is too much and so is £16-odd a ticket. eddyramrod, Junkman and trigger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 That is great!!! Just an observation but some people on here are proper blinkered!! For every RS licker there's a "proper enthusiast" (whatever that is) who will put the effort in to restore to factory spec, just try and turn your wanky prejudices off and have a look around and some of the restos and auctions over the past couple of years.

Skizzer Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I'm not sure who you're accusing of wanky prejudice. We're just saying it's overpriced. If you want to pay that for it, knock yourself out pal. Uncle Jimmy, Junkman, JohnK and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I don't think the price is outside the realms of feasibility given how rare it is. Even though it looks knocked around it appears to be quite solid. Vin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisbon_road Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I simply cannot remember the last time I saw a grey grilled Sierra. A very very long time ago. It is a bit expensive, but when you consider restoration cost, what difference does a couple of hundred make? Bit grim with 4 speed box though.
