Appears to be unmolested and genuine example
An early model from 1988
We are very pleased to offer this very nice, and what appears to be original, Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth finished in maybe the only colour to have, Moonstone blue.
It has the very rare cloth / Alcantara Recaro trim, which is in stunning condition, and adds to the appearance and belief that this is a genuine and cared for example.
We have the original bill of sale that tells us that it was purchased by a Mr Adams on 20/9/1988 and registered on 14/10/1988.
The cost then was £21,300 which in today’s money equates to around £75,000 - a lot of money, but then again a lot of car of which we will never see anything like made ever again.
Shame!
The paperwork is quite vast, with invoices and receipts going back over many years, lot...
