Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1989 Ford Sierra Ghia 4x4 Estate is a rare and desirable classic, featuring a high-spec Ghia trim and 4x4 capability. Despite starting and driving, it requires significant recommissioning, particularly on the exterior, which will influence its final value.
Condition
6
The car is described as needing recommissioning, with the exterior looking 'a bit worse' and requiring 'a little bit of paintwork'. While the interior is described as 'lovely' and the car 'starts and drives', the overall condition necessitates some work, fitting the 'Good' category which allows for moderate wear and some reconditioning.

Description
Now here is something that deserves a little look at, a Ford Sierra 4x4 Ghia Estate.
This example is finished in black with the top of the range trim, being a Ghia.
It is lovely on the inside and appears to be completely factory standard, even down to the radio and graphic equaliser that they had.
The exterior looks a bit worse but it is actually not as bad as it looks.
With a bit of love and a couple of days, and maybe a little bit of paintwork, you could transform this into something very special, and it would really be worth doing.
The Sierra was supplied new on 10/5/1989 and then, according to an invoice on file, it was sold a year later for £11,495 as used.
It has only had four owners in total.
At some point in its later life, it was in a few TV programmes so has led an interesting life.
The paperwork, whilst mostly the early days, is immense in every way.
A huge amount details lots of maintenance and servicing, along with a large collection of older MOTs and tax discs.
