Very little use in the last 14 years, covering less than 2,500 miles
Interior in very good original condition with no real wear and tear
MOT valid until September 2024
The Appeal
While Ford were one of the more brash motor makers of America, their European strategy was quite the opposite - based in somewhat conservative, sensible and capable vehicles. The Sierra, of course, was exactly that. Built with attractive, aerodynamic styling, it's since become one of those bywords for straightforward, no-nonsense motoring. Although it's still one of the most popular cars ever for the UK market - with 1.3 million sold - it's still a huge backbone of what Britain was in the 80s and 90s.
This 1992 example of the car has been in the same family's ownership from new, and has covered barely 2,500 miles in the past fourteen years. Always garaged, and kept regularly maintained, the car has never been on the open market before, and is still highly original. It's the sort of car that's guaranteed to get plenty of admiring glances at the legendary Festival of the Unexceptional.
