Pillock Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I seem to have missed the crowdfunding boat. If there's future monies needed to get it home or keep it going I shall be right there waving my PayPal details. Also, brilliant idea selling prints of artwork Angyl.

oldcars Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I am actually cackling with laughter at the prospect. I just love the idea of skizzer in a high viz jacket, marshalling the Sierra down the ramps of the trailer.... me, truckers arm already bronzed, gingerly reversing her down next to a concourse MK1 Ghia that's won "best in show" every year for the last eleventy years. Park up. Say nothing. Dead pan. great idea. Leave it as is, then at the show shout "shite, i forgot the tyre dressing" rob88h, BorniteIdentity, chaseracer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm so excited about this! After a lot of umming and ahhing, I nearly went to view it this afternoon, but with talk of a group buy on the forum, I gave Skizzer a ring first. And now I have a part share in a grey grill Sierra! The funds have been raised to buy the car, a deposit has been left with the dealer and it will be collected ASAP. Not by me I hasten to add, I'll be at work so will miss out on the actual collection excitement. A crowdfunding page will be set up in due course, where people can chip in for any maintenance, repairs or new parts the Sierra needs. greengartside, inconsistant, Vantman and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengartside Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 AngryDicky has paid the deposit and BorniteIdentity and I are shaping up a plan to collect it tomorrow. JohnK and Cheggers really got things moving in the background too. Thanks to everyone who has said nice things and/or offered to contribute, we'll get something sorted over the weekend. Much excitement all round! YESSSSSS!!!!! GET IN!! The best bit of news I've heard in a long time! So bloody excited for you chaps and so so glad this is coming to the Autoshite multi-story shite park. I'm fascinated about the history of the car, where was it sold new and how long has it lived in London? It will be a poignant moment as it's driven out of London and beyond the M25 'barrier' for maybe the last time after a long time of being knocked about in the capital. Also, is someone going to do the V888 thing? Will gladly put some money towards paying for that just out of morbid curiosity. Will also be chipping in for any fund that will be going ahead. Well done again guys, on the edge of my seat for the collection thread.

KruJoe Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I want to sponsor the driver's door mirror.

Norbert Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Look at all those blanking plates! I feel the need to stump up some wedge in order to help out what is, according to the registration mark, a fellow Norfolk exile. If it's from Bussey's it would have come from over the road from school, if from Spruce Howlett I may have gone past it on the way home from aforementioned school.

sierraman Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thing is, they were only ever OK at best. Worth preserving, I guess, but there a zillion better cars for the price, most of which still have an interior. A Peugeot 405 of similar vintage would be a much better car at a fraction of the cost.I think you are missing the point here. It's a really rare model of one of the most significant new cars in the 1980's. You aren't comparing it to a 52 reg Astra or something. richardthestag and Angrydicky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 This is just brilliant. I'll sponsor a proper front plate from DMB? Something like that's a fine thing to do, but I wouldn't be repairing wings and replacing the dash or anything. Someone find some roof bars too!
