Don’t recall ever having seen a white one. I say respray judging by the 50 shades of white. 

Looks rough, but then it’s a £450 1.7 with a ticket. 

I was thinking the same, I might be wrong but I don't think white was a factory colour. Good future proofing for the tipp-ex though

1983 Ford Sierra XR4I For Sale (picture 1 of 9)

I wonder why that might be? I don't think these worked off of EV chargers, but I could be wrong

Worst case scenario, running it dry has fucked the lift pump and the injection pump. Best case scenario, just an airlock between the lift pump and injection pump...

iirc injected fords of this era used an inline lift pump, so not reliant on being immersed in fuel for cooling, but istr selling a few for XR3i's (was working in  Ford franchise parts dept in the late 80s), so maybe the impeller overheats, idk.

Stick a fork in it, it's done. Pity as it looked like a nice car.

Sold mine for the same price and it was 40,000 less miles and (roughly) the correct shape. 

I agree @cort16this is scrap

That looks like it's been built by a very particular person, for a very particular purpose. In that very very limited context it probably makes perfect sense.

However, to literally everybody else on the planet it simply looks like the product of a diseased mind.

 

Truly fascinating stuff.

Isn't that basically us?

Judging by the number of switches all over the dash it looks like it must have a similar start-up procedure to Airwolf. I wonder if they've just chucked all ECUs and whatnot in the bin and hotwired everything.

 That's one that used to be local to me which I'd spotted a few times. The perpetrator of the filler and paint is a bit of a local legend; I knew he sold it a year or so back; not a massive surprise to see it offered again.

It didn't look any better nearly 15 years ago.spacer.png
