Condition 

6

The car has been in storage since 2017, suggesting some level of wear and the need for reconditioning of fluids, filters, and belts. The listing mentions it hasn't been started, indicating potential mechanical issues from storage. The mileage is relatively low for its age, implying it was reasonably well-maintained prior to storage, but the storage period necessitates some refurbishment to bring it back to good running condition.

Description

Description One owner from new; always garaged; only 99,026 miles; fresh from long term storage The 1989 Ford Sierra Sapphire GL was a practical, rear-wheel-drive saloon with a 1.8L engine, offering smooth performance and understated style.

Popular among families and fleet buyers, it balanced comfort and reliability.

Today, it’s a nostalgic classic, appreciated for its simplicity, solid build, and connection to Ford’s motorsport heritage.

This example was first registered in January 1989 and has only had one registered keeper from new, covering just 99,026 miles.

Last used on the road in 2017 and has been stored in a dry garage since, we haven’t tried to start the vehicle as it would be prudent to change the fuels, filters and belts beforehand.

The paperwork includes the current V5C and the old blue logbook.
