Just wait until the shit hits the fan when two or three members want to use it to pick up a date.

I want to sponsor the driver's door mirror.

 

Hirst, was there ever such a thing as a passenger door mirror blanking plate (instead of a mirror)?

If so, I'll stump up for one of them, an'all.

A frame head restraints optional at extra cost

Yeah sorry should of really put that, I described the head restraints so people got the idea of the level of luxury* you could receive, they also sold optional push in cushions for the centres at extra cost

[trigger]

I think we've already had this but just in case, back from 1982...

Everyone knows mk1 sierra's get the laydees excited, they would take their undies off as they leave the house if the base was waiting for them outside

[Norbert]

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.

Reading that, plus the slogan from Triggers article 'Ford gives you more' had me laughing in a really immature fashion.

On a side-note, I lived up the road from Spruce Howlett!

This is going to kettle Midnites swede.

This site is what it used to be, even if we do get branded as weirdos who have shit cars

 

Johnk I take this is the jrg 3 door you mention

 

Took this picture at blackpool ford day

This news is SH1T HOT !!1!1!1!1!

 

I will bung a donation to DB first then same to the crowdfunding, enough to get oil and filter sorted out.

BO'SELECTA to the Level 12 shiters on this forum!

[mercrocker]

Only just revisited this thread and amazed to see the outcome....Top work to all involved.  I am no Sierra-licker but this is just the kind of stuff that should be saved, no cherished,  and I would be happy to chuck something in the pot.    

[Mr_Bo11ox]

PLease ensure that this is played whenever driving the SIERRA BASE

 

[sierraman]

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.

[Tamworthbay]

So what kit car are you building with it?

[eddyramrod]

How blank is that!!!!  It's like my wife's expression when I tell her what car I'm picking up next...

[egg]

1983's Dacia Sandero Access.

Anyone got an old CD player, the sort that top-loads the disc and takes those bfo batteries? Need this playing when on the London leg of the collection:

[Mr_Bo11ox]

BALLS!!! Will have to record it onto a tape and play it on one of these then.

If you promise to video a load of spotty 40 year old shit car enthusiasts break dancing to Ace of Bass in a London tube station, I'll weigh a ten spot in to your crowd fund.

[Alexg]

Or this suitably 80s classic. How low can you go?

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!

[fordperv]

How's about

I can see us at Chumley this year. 40 of us, that Sierra on a plinth, a crap DJ set up with a pair of woeful mahogany* encased speakers blasting every godawful track with the word base in it that we can find.

 

Then when that twat in the concours competition wanders round we can ambush him and each shout a line from buttery biscuit base at him until he gives up and presents us with a trophy or something. I've not worked that bit out yet.

[Timewaster]

Needs a DMB dealer set IMHO.

 

I might buy it one if the crowd fund doesn't happen.

 

edit. Ghosty beat me to it

There's only one tune when driving a gangster whip...
