Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth

This is an early Sierra RS500 Cosworth, said to be the 17th car converted by Aston Martin Tickford at Bedworth. The RS500 was the 500-car evolution run that Ford needed to keep the Sierra competitive under Group A touring car rules. It adds a larger turbocharger, a revised inlet manifold, a second injector rail, an extra boot spoiler and a rear wing Gurney flap.

The car shows 17,854 miles on the listing, although the text elsewhere quotes 17,244. It was first registered in September 1987 as E320 FLP and supplied new by Dagenham Motors of Uxbridge. It has had two drivers from new, and the page lists four former keepers. It was sparsely used until 1994 and then stored for about three decades. It is finished in factory black and keeps its original paint, interior, radio and dealer number plates.

The history file includes the service book, Ford inspection reports from 1988 to 1991, warranty paperwork and specialist invoices up to 2015. A 2024 pre-inspection report from Paul Linfoot Racing is available, and that firm has recently recommissioned the car. The brakes were rebuilt, and the fuel tank and exhaust are new. Minor marks from a 1991 attempted theft were left unrepaired on the passenger door frame and sunroof area.
