1987 FORD SIERRA RS COSWORTH
This 1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth has been owned by our vendor since it was less than a year old. Supplied new by Bristol Street Motors and then by TC Harrison. First registered on the 28th of January 1987 and understood to have initially been used as a dealership demonstrator before being passed to its second recorded keeper just two months later. The Speedo head failed early on in its life and was replaced by TC Harrison at 12,204 miles in March 1988. In November 1988 it appears the replacement speedo head required replacement again at an indicated 2,729 miles. Thereafter, the Cosworth has only received limited use, backed up by MoT certificates dating back to 1990 at 2,735 miles and through to 2017 at 12,980 miles. The total mileage that the Cosworth has covered is believed to be less than 30,000 with the current reading at 13,231. More recently the Cosworth suffered from a small engine bay fire whilst being started after a period of inactivity, so will need some repair work to return it to the road. No insurance claim has been made and the car remains clear on Hpi . The vendor has confirmed to us that it has received little use over the last twenty five years and is in original condition.
Paperwork with the Cosworth includes the V5C, MoT certificates back to 1990 that back up the low mileage, old tax discs, and some early invoices. There's also the book pack with owner's handbook, radio guide and security instructions. The service book has five stamps up to October 1989. There's also a spare key as well.
