Now here’s a potentially useful vehicle that combines the load lugging ability of an estate car with Ferguson four-wheel drive and the luxury afforded Ford’s Ghia trim package – what’s not to like? It’s another model that’s suddenly become rare too, with only around 10 thought to be left on our roads. Recent maintenance has included a degree of chassis welding by a Ford specialist and the installation of a new fuel tank. The vendor now grades the DOHC 2.0-litre engine and five-speed manual gearbox as ‘excellent’, the light grey fabric upholstery as ‘good’, and the five-door bodywork and metallic blue paintwork as ‘average to good’; and adds that the Sierra behaved impeccably on a recent 300-mile journey. The sprightly-looking five-keeper Ghia is now seeking a new owner, and is being sold complete with glass sunroof, alloy wheels, headlamp wash/wipe, electric windows, central locking, JVC stereo unit, roof bars, two sets of keys, a ‘massive’ file of invoices and old MOTs etc, plus a current certificate valid to June 19 next year.
Released in the September of 1982, the Ford Sierra was a replacement for the ubiquitous Cortina and its German sibling, the Taunus. The aerodynamic styling was arguably ahead of its time and caused initial controversy – one eminent UK journalist nicknaming it the ‘jelly mould’. Ford had the last laugh, however, with sales eventually reaching 1,299,993 units over the 11 years of production; making it Britain’s 10
th
most popular car up to that time.
In summary:
A rare car that combines spacious luxury with 4-wheel drive
A five-keeper example currently indicating a total 140,556 miles
In the previous ownership for no less than 14 years
