[trigger]

Come on down, the SHITE IS RIGHT!!!

[ruffgeezer]

How fuckin' much?

[trigger]

Shame someone's obviously bought it to make a few quid, they will struggle at even £995 though i think.

[strangeangel]

It's great and everything, but how is that worth a grand

[Jon]

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.

[matty879]

if you look beyond the bodywork its an apealling car,well its exactly the sort of thing I would consider,priced to high though

[xkjagnz]

$995 Jeez Maybe $9.95 if they chucked in some mints and there was some change under the seat!

[trigger]

I think it looked better with the roof rack.

 

1983 Ford Sierra 1.6 (base model) by Sim B, on Flickr

[For Fiats Sake]

a one hundredth share in a shonky old sierra.....tempting!

 

 

Complete with RABBI SATAN'S AIRFILTER and bonus BANSAI BATTERY!

[Urko]

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.

[Mr A Lawrence]

I can see the RS and XR owners climbing over themselves to rape that for parts for their cars!!

[Bren]

Needs photoshopping onto a white background.

 

An extra 0 on price 'cos of the grey grille.

[vulgalour]

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.

[rml2345]

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.

[Ghosty]

The replacement front plate still has the protective blue plastic on it 

[BorniteIdentity]

Not a 1.3?

 

Ahm oot.

[Cavcraft]

I'd pay close to that if I could afford it, it's flipping brilliant.

[fordperv]

Hnnnnggg I have so much want for that, if I had space I would

[Tamworthbay]

I would love it to add to my collection of one y reg ford but at about half that price.

[Split_Pin]

Sadly, that is doomed at the hands of the philistines with their stupid RS etc plans. I love this car and personally I think it is worth the asking price.

That's the Star of David, not Satan

[HillmanImp]

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?

[Skizzer]

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.

[trigger]

The price will drop after a few weeks and no takers I suspect..

[scruff]

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]

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.

[cort16]

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.

[lisbon_road]

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.

I don't want a Ford Sierra. I just find it funny people think everyone after an old Ford is gonna ruin it.
