New motor.......... Non VAG I'm afraid

Yes I've got a new motor.......... & it's Non VAG





























It's a car I've always wanted & I thought I never would due to insurance cost........... well it cost me £55 to bump up the the Sierra from the mk3 Golf VR6

price's on Sapphire's are at the bottom at the moment (paid £1500 for mine)........ there going to start to rise pretty soon & hopefully I won't loose any £££ on it

Not bad Paul did you buy it local feels like I've seen it driving about

it's from GS Motorsport in Beverley......... it was one of their customer's car's

not sure if it's a local car

there is another white one knocking about round Hull

nice buy, what is it like to drive are you impressed?

cool, i'll keep a look out for ya driving it, are you taking it to cleethorpes on sunday???

awesome!!! love the saphys, id love to own one. Pardon my lack of knowledge of the sierra kind but is it a 4x4 or a rwd?

i bet its alot of fun to drive whichever it is.

It's an early Sapphire, so it'll be a 2wd model. £1500 isn't a lot for a Cosworth at all. What's the bodywork on it really like though?

rwd (as Gee said)......... better for drag & trackdays, less strain on the clutch & only 2 tyres get wrecked

Nice cheap car paul,always fancied a cossie myself but i've only ever had a soft spot for an old 3 door especially an rs500,saw a few stunning cossies and a cossie powered S1 escort rs turbo last night in scarborough,must of been a show or meet nearby cos there was a few kicking about

it's just had it's first bit of welding..... on the passenger side sill, the jacking point was rotten

it's had a bump on that side at some point & both door's have been replaced

the main places for rot on Sierra's...... rear arches & rear "chassis legs" are fine, just a bit of surface rust

door tops (bottom of the window) are problems on Sierra's too....... we've replaced 3 of the 4 door's with door's from a late K reg Asura that I bought off eBay

need to find a 4th door (rear passenger side)........ then I'll get Matt to paint the full car

there's an RS Specialist up that way that has 2x RS500's

I was talking to the brother of the lad that owns the rwd S1 the other week

Wow...didnt see that coming. Looks really tidy. Awesome cars. Wanna sell it yet?
