Sold 1982 Ford Sierra L (The oldest one left)

[BorniteIdentity]

Just about to set off from Watford Junction to London.

It's another dangling Sierra to keep the AS Base company.

Not dead good at trains so will probably be back for help.

[BorniteIdentity]

 

Just about to tackle the minefield of split tickets.

Update?!!!!

[Faker]

Are you there yet?!!

[BorniteIdentity]

All aboard

Almost certain nobody else is off to buy a mediocre 80s rep mobile.

 

Picnic: The Autoshite way.

[BorniteIdentity]

Charing X.

 

Observation: Take photos of a train and you're an anorak. Take them of a train station and you're a terrorist.

 

Not sure what's worse.

[Faker]

Are you there yet?!!!! FFS

[BorniteIdentity]

Many updates because boredom.

 

Charing X is actually quite a sweet station. Very clean and no London Wankers at all.

 

Carry on.

[johngarty]

Looking forward to this. Is it yellow?

Did BT ever use Sierra estates in yellow?  I've always known them as ex-BT cars without knowing why I know that.

[bramz7]

It won't be the yellow Sierra as it was scrapped in 2012ish… It was an ex Telecom car which the owner bought off of them when they were done with it.

I think I know which Sierra it is, only because I've gone on that same route (but from Waterloo East instead) when I spotted it, back in 2014. If it is that one, great news you've bought it.

There's a few MK1 Sierras still about in London, including two in Catford a few roads apart. I've not seen a 'new' one since last summer though.

[Tickman]

Cannot believe you are stupid brave enough for another one!

Serious commitment to shite, well done

[Felly Magic]

MOAR DANGLYSHITE? Is this the new Laguna 2 of the site?

[Ghosty]

I know which one this is, unless there's a mystery third one now?! 

Is this one getting those base steels, or the red'un? I'd be tempted to put them on this one if it is the one I think.

[BorniteIdentity]

Dealio.

 

 

[Supernaut]

Ooooh, get you! Limited Edition!

[oldcars]

Dad had a mk2, 1800L. Dash was different.

[Felly Magic]

Brown interior too, winning! Needs those pepperpots replacing with steels with the standard 4 slot wheel trims to complete the semi-misery spec

[purplebargeken]

1.6L with a fancy graphic

 

Verrrrrrrry nice indeed

[purplebargeken]

Sierras and small Triumphs are taking over the forum. Yay!

[dugong]

Sierras and small Triumphs are taking over the forum. Yay!

woo

[Ghosty]

Yep, thought so. 

 

NEEDZ STEELZ

[johngarty]

That Lovvverly. Much wantage !!!

[Faker]

That's a pretty Sierra. Health to enjoy. ("13 tins and wheel trims, for the love of god)!!

[danthecapriman]

I very much approve of this, mk1, good colour, good interior colour, and limited edition! Excellent work.

As others have said, ditch the alloy rimz.

[Burnside]

Love this! 

 

My Aunty had a small grille Y reg sierra back in the early 90's when I was a kid. Was a 1.6L in metalic light green remember when she got it had miss matched mk1 sierra wheel trims with two being the very early version and two being the one's with the little circle holes all the way round.

 

She put a full set of matching sierra trims all round and had it about 5 years or so during that time it survived being smashed up 3 times. One being my uncle who was ment to be looking after it while she was on holiday, before being replace by a C reg Jaguar XJ6.

 

Hope you keep them limited edition graphics down the side reminds me of all those kind of stripes / graphics you use to get from local car parts shop back in the 80's/90's.

 

Reckon you need to find some old stock 13 inch universal cheapo trims to go with the graphics for that early 90's backstreet car sales look etc. 

[BorniteIdentity]

Pez.

 

 

 

Home.

 

[cort1977]

Commitment to Sierras here, looks great and with period 'Limited Edition' stickers as well.

 

There is a set of 13 inch trims for this (off a B plate 1.6L) at my parent's place in Chingford if you do get rid of the alloys.

 

These ones.

[cort16]

When are you painting the grill?

[DVee8]

Are you living in it after Mrs BI reaction?
