Description
This rare, three-door Ford Sierra XR4i had only 1 previous registered owner before the vendor took ownership in 2023, and its odometer is showing 79,965 miles.
The car is equipped with ‘pepper pot’ alloys, sunroof, electric windows and a well-presented grey cloth interior.
Its paperwork includes various receipts from the last few years, one indicating that the gearbox was rebuilt in September 2025 around 200 miles ago.
The car was first registered on 8th February 1985, making it eligible for Historic status next year.
In the meantime, the current Mo
T is valid to 31st August 2026.
The history file also includes the current V5C, a couple of original handbooks and a pair of spare keys.
The vendor has alerted us to a slight noise which is believed to be coming from the clutch bearing (although it is reportedly functioning normally) and some erratic dash lights.
