1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth

The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was launched at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show and was the first Ford to wear the 'Cosworth' badge. Only 5545 were built in order to homologate the car for Group A Touring car racing and were based on the 3 door Sierra bodyshell but fitted with a 2.0 litre turbo engine of now legendary repute. It featured a double overhead camshaft, 16 valve engine with a Garret T3 turbo and intercooler, giving a reliable 204bhp which produced a 150 mph top speed and a 0-60 time of just 6.8 seconds!

This UK supplied right hand drive car was bought new by our vendor on 24th November 1986 from his local Oxford Ford main agent. He has used it sparingly but maintained regular servicing and annual MOTs, the last of which was done on the 6th September 2013. The mileage of 88,451 from new is warranted by the vendor and the car looks fantastic in it's original rare colour of Moonstone Blue.

Stored in his home garage, but used less and less in recent years, the car is totally original (including the engine and gearbox) and preserved in a completely original state, contrasting with the many similar cars that ended up with modified turbos, suspension and trim. As such, it is highly collectable today and the Cosworth is now being recognised as a real future classic, with many experts predicting long term growth in value - similar to the limited edition fast Fords of previous generations.

This is a real chance of fun classic car ownership with a car that one can add value to by carrying out minor restoration and improvements, whilst enjoying superb motoring in a real "blue oval" icon.
