Default Sierra Cosworth with history

Just browsing some Cosworths for sale on Trade Me and came across this...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...-514890629.htm


Be a nice cossie to own by the looks without the history, but that unique history is certainly interesting.

History aside, that is one very clean cossie.

Seeing this thread reminds me that I saw 4 black Sierra Cosworths at the Clybucca BP at the beginning of the month when I was on my way back from Newcastle.

Two of them were on trailers and the others were parked up with them.

At present i own a pair of supercharged GTP Fords but i used to own one of these incredible cosworths and i will always have a soft spot for them.At the time i owned a VR Clubsport and was offered a drive in one of these Sierras but i was reluctant being a four cylinder car i wasnt interested.I was talked into it and 7 days later had the Clubsport sold and a Sierra in my possesion.Only drawback was parts availability and time to get them but what a great little car.Sold it to finish new house but still love seeing them.

Never knew there was a green rocker cover version. You learn something everyday.

I thought they were all red.

The later models Sapphires were fitted with the green rocker covers I believe, I think when then introduced catalysts ?

And the Escort Cossies had Blue rocker covers to confuse the issue.
