About this car

The Sierra RS Cosworth was Ford's Group A homologation special, with a little over 5,000 road cars built to qualify the touring car racer. This one is finished in Moonstone Blue and shows 39,760 miles.

The history is unusual. The dealer says the original shell was replaced in the early 2000s because of corrosion, and the underside is described as show standard with no rust in the bodyshell. The engine has since been stripped and rebuilt on the later, stronger Cosworth YB 200 block, with a photo record of the work. Less than 1,000 miles have been covered since.

It has covered about 4,000 miles in twenty years. The interior is original 1980s Fast Ford trim, and invoices for new parts accompany the car. It is offered with a full 12 months' MOT and a fresh service.
