Haven’t seen one of these for a while.  When I was in Korea 20 years ago, my host drove me everywhere in one of these.  We covered 300 miles in the worst of the Seoul traffic over the week and it used about a quarter of a tank of fuel

1983 (Y) FORD SIERRA 2.3 V6 GHIA BARN FIND - ON SALE FROM 99P NO RESERVE

z.thumb.jpg.c600da9a64df8ab1856731f670d97b03.jpg

"The car was originally automatic but the previous owner bought it with a faulty gearbox in 2003 and converted it to manual using donor parts from an XR4i"

Fun fact: 2.3 Sierras all came with an auto box as standard, you could specify a manual gearbox but the price was the same.

Current bid: £335

I wonder what that lock is on the front trimpiece? Cut-off switch or a bonnet lock perhaps?

I think it might be a car alarm, there were some 1980s aftermarket alarms that had external keyholes.

Now that's interesting- never thought of that.

Yes. Yes you would, your Wolseley looks lovely. But why not have both? That would be a very sensible thing to to do. 

Had I not bought a 66 Minor convertible last week it would probably be mine already. It’s always the case, you make one carefully considered and rare addition to the fleet, and something all the more appealing rears its alluring head within days! What luck.

It was very popular for a while. More sophisticated than a hidden rotor arm or cut-off switch, supposedly.

This has been knocking around for a while. I think it was up for 10 before. Could be wrong.

Yes I think I’ve seen that Sherpa before. Doing the rounds of the usual classic dealers.

"For Sale, the most famous Maestro on Facebook!!! 

1984 1275 A+ Maestro. 

Last owner since 1986, always garaged and pumped with waxoyl. 

Never Welded, do ideal if you want to fully restore it to concourse spec

Revolution 4 spokes, 5mm+ on the tyres which were new last year.  Lowered on coilovers. 

Raised engine by 30mm so the sump clears the floor.   Reinforced sump. 

Awesome fun car to drive, really pisses off the purists, totally different to anything else of the road, perfect classic to use as a daily. 

The reason for sale is to fund a new race car. 

I've still got the bumpers, standard suspension and wheels so you can  return it to stock."  Interior looks original too, so there may still be hope for it!

I don't mind modification as much as I used to, but when you're saying that pissing off purists is a selling point I am afraid we have some work to do before we can be friends

I really like how it looks to be honest, compared to how a lot of other cars are modified it really doesn't seem that over the top to me.
