The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
1989 Ford Sierra XR4X4
Executive-grade Ford Sierra XR4x4 fresh from long-term enthusiast ownership
Registration - G466 AHK
Chassis No. - WF0AXXGBBAKK12248
M.O.T. - Jule 2025
Odometer - 47,779
High-spec and original Ford Sierras such as this four-wheel drive 1989 XR4x4 hatchback are becoming rare, making this sparkling red executive machine a real standout. It has been enthusiast-owned and comes from long-term ownership, with the vendor owning it for seven years and the previous keeper owning it for almost 19 years. The vendor describes this 2.9-litre V6 Sierra as being in ‘excellent’ condition throughout, and it has a full MOT until July 2025. The HPI report does indicate a mileage discrepancy from way back in 1993, but this is probably explained by the odometer, which currently reads 47,779 miles, being a five-digit unit, rather than six-digit. Otherwise, its background is clear.
The Ford Sierra was a large family car introduced in 1982 to replace the long-lived Ford Cortina saloon. It made its world debut at the 1982 British International Motor Show in Birmingham. Dubbed the ‘jelly mould’, it was a futuristic hatchback car with aerodynamics ahead of its time. Although its conservative buyers took time to get used to its dynamic appearance and lack of a traditional boot, it soon started to set the mould for other cars in its class. It was continually developed throughout the 1980s, with standouts including the famous Ford Sierra RS Cosworth. The similarly sporty Ford Sierra XR4i, with its distinctive bi-plane rear wing, preceded this, and later gained four-wheel drive in executive XR4x4 guise – initially with a 2.8-litre V6, later upgraded to a newer 2.9-litre V6. The Ford Sierra lived on until 1993, when it was replaced by the Ford Mondeo.
In summary:
- Executive-grade Ford Sierra XR4x4 fresh from long-term ownership
- Condition described as ‘excellent’ throughout
- Comes with a full MOT
