About this car

The Sierra RS500 Cosworth was Ford's Group A homologation special: 500 cars converted from standard Sierra Cosworths by Aston Martin Tickford at Bedworth. It brought a larger turbocharger, a secondary injector system and extra aerodynamic aids, including a rear wing Gurney flap and an additional rear deck spoiler.

This example is finished in black with a grey cloth interior and shows 14,035 miles. It is registered E500 YBD, having previously carried E41 XVS, and has had four keepers on the V5C. It spent time in the Bonkers Collection of performance Fords and is described as having its original shell and panels.

It comes with the owner's manuals, a stamped service book, maintenance invoices and the original Ford brochure. A second set of alloy wheels with period Dunlop D40 tyres is included. Recent servicing was by Cotswold Prestige Cars. The price is on application.
