Introduction
Dom Ginn
With its roots in rally stages, race circuits and a legacy in motoring history, the Sierra Cosworth is a true all-rounder and fast with it.
The Ford Sierra Cosworth Sapphire 4x4 follows on from its motorsport-bred predecessor, retaining much of the same feel albeit with subtly tweaked handling traits of the original. Packaged in a more practical, stiffer, and manageable car, the Sierra Sapphire was rolled out in 1988 with well-weighted steering and an excellent balance of agility and stability.
The Sierra Sapphire makes for a genuinely engaging drive and was designed to win races, with its turbocharged 2.0L 16-valve engine producing around ~280 BHP thanks to its remap work carried out. The powerful engine drives all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, thanks to its 4x4 capability, the Cosworth has plenty of grip.
The Ford has had several items of mechanical work carried out on it during its current ownership including; new cam belt, new intercooler, new hoses and starter motor. Other upgrades have included new wheels, AP Racing brake kit, boost and a mild tune carried out to the turbo, resulting in its power increase. The Cosworth also has maintenance works with the rear wheel arches being restored and under-seal completed, it comes with current MOT valid until 25.05.2025.
This 1992 example is an exciting opportunity for fast Ford fans to own a great looking Cosworth with some very well suited performance upgrades, and all reversible if the new owner wishes.

Hello Colin
Your cossie looks lovely.
In the video it looks that there has been paint on the drivers wing. Did you have this work undertaken?
Also what is the reserve on this please
I really like it ?

Hi there David, thanks for getting in touch. In mid 2020 I had the Bulldog Bodyshop repair some small paint bubbles on the LHR wheelarch, they fitted a new panel.
When I bought the car it had 18 inch Compomotive wheels, these rubbed on the lips of the wings over bumps so the lips were rolled back slightly to 45 degrees, the paint was slightly cracked, there were also a few stone chips on the bonnet, front & rear bumpers and a small blister on the rear panel.
Both bumpers were removed and repainted, the front bumper had Sierras R us uprated mounting brackets fitted, new ford body mounts were fitted. The front wings, bonnet front, rear panel, rear wing were all painted and blended in as required.
As you have said the drivers side front wing can show a slight mismatch in the light from certain angles, if you move or in different light its harder to see. It is a nice car, thank you for saying. It has never let me down and the engine is great and uses no oil, which I am told is rare for a Cossy.
Regarding the reserve sorry, I am not allowed to reveal the amount, it is against the trade classic rules. I do believe it is set a reasonable value and is below what I see other cars in this condition being sold at.
I hope that helps?
Best Wishes Colin.
