SUMMARY
An extremely rare, ‘4P’ Pre-Production Sierra Cosworth believed to be one of just ten produced and in superb order throughout.
DESCRIPTION
An exceptionally rare, matching numbers example of the 1980s premiere performance hatchback finished in Moonstone Blue and superbly original throughout. Rolling off the production line in November 1985, a full nine months prior to the official production run started, it was first registered in January 1986. It remained in the UK until 1994 when it was exported to New Zealand, returning here in 2016 at which point it went into climate-controlled storage remaining under cover until recent times.
Designated ‘4P’ or Pre-Production Prove Out Programme Model, this particular example is just one of ten right-hand drive ‘4P’ examples that are understood to have been produced and is believed to be the only road-legal, right-hand drive '4P' to have been specified in Moonstone Blue so a rare beast indeed. Notable differences from standard production models include no rear screen washer, a black fuse box cover not white, no First Aid kit, differing radio balance controls and an engine to gearbox brace to reduce vibration. With its status confirmed by Gordon Prout and Geoff Fox, members of the original Ford Special Vehicle Engineering Team (SVE), this is almost certainly one of the original magazine press cars and a star of the Ford ‘Cars of the Future’ TV advert.
The owner's file contains a comprehensive service history detailing such matters as a cosmetic external refurbishment and an engine rebuild during its time in New Zealand as well as the seats being re-foamed and a replacement headlining fitted in 2009. This very special Sierra will be welcome at any Blue Oval event or indeed a desirable addition to any serious Ford Collection. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity to acquire one of the rarest Sierra Cosworths to be offered on the open market.
