As a reader of every Ford Cars issued from April 1975 until sometime in summer 1995 , I can assure you there was never such a beast promoted or sold in the United Kingdom. As other’s have mentioned 1.3/ 1.6 and maybe 2.3 diesel was your lot. The MK1 2.0iS was quite a rarity anyway , the only one I’ve ever owned gave up it’s engine and box for my Dad’s Spartan in around 1998, he might even get round to fitting it soon. I might dig it out of the brambles it lives in and sell for thousands due to RWD Ford tax. Shite Ron, mk2_craig and MisterH 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzy Woking Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Saw this 3 door Sierra 2.0i a couple of years ago in a village near me. I have seen it a few times since, noticeable by the Cosworth (style?) wheels As well as these in the rear shelf.. Very nice, no doubt lack of rust helped by the lack of salt on the roads. Not sure if its a "S" though. How can you tell if its not badged as one? MisterH, NorfolkNWeigh, Ian_Fearn and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yank Tank Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Quote Mk5 cortina 2.0 ghia manual 4 speed runs and drives well been resprayed in and out recently and it's a decent tidy job loads of.new parts like shockers,springs,fuel tank brake lines ,fuel lines Middle box of exhaust and brakes its mot and tax exempt welding from it last mot had been done,its in regular use its a easy project to finish as it's mainly a few plastics inside like the cill trims and kick panels in my personal opinion the carpet. If you wanted it bang on I'd also source the proper colour interior as I don't think the blue suits it and some parts are.missing from the door cards. It has new wings and that at some point.it also needs a fuel sender which I gather are a problem on these cars as no ones petrol seems to work a stick for dipping can be supplied lol, there are a few parts in the boot like spare new bushes and points and condenser,it also needs the speedo cable changing which a new one is in the boot which I will change if I get chance,only selling due to change in circumstances any questions plz tx 07929183962 reserve the right to end early as advertised elsewhere,cash in collection https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313589510865?hash=item49036432d1:g:HdoAAOSwyVdg30rT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're gonna butcher the poor thing, at least put a bloody Ford engine in it, out of a (new) Mustang or somesuch nonsense. Hell, given its lower body weight, the motor out of a Focus ST would make it go like stink. Though my personal choice (money no object obvs) would be a Cosworth DFV... eddyramrod and Asimo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzy Woking Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Sadly the Sirra 3 door will never get a V8 engine as long as it is in Spain. Restrictions on changing such things is extremely difficult to get through the ITV test. But not impossible. This Renault 4 "alledgedly" has a Clio 172 motor in it. The sound of the exhaust was earsplittingly loud. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
