M.O.T. - March 2025

Odometer - 118,000

Despite them being a regular sight on UK roads 30 years ago, this is now a rare opportunity to obtain a Ford Sierra, this one presented in grey with red pinstripe and with grey velure interior. And more unusual still is to see one in such a good condition. ‘H795 TVG’ is powered by Ford’s four-cylinder, 2.0-litre petrol engine, with power going through a four-speed automatic transmission in this instance. The five-door hatchback comes in largely original condition, fitted with alloy wheels – including spare – factory radio/cassette player with graphic equaliser and CBox cassette holder, sunroof, and electric windows. ‘H795 TVG’ was restored late 2021, into 2022, with professional welding and paint work. According to the present owner, it has since been kept garaged, and has had four new brake discs and pads, rear shock absorbers, rear brake callipers, and hand-brake cable fitted recently. A gearbox service has also been carried out.Despite them being a regular sight on UK roads 30 years ago, this is now a rare opportunity to obtain a Ford Sierra, this one presented in grey with red pinstripe and with grey velure interior.

With only three owners from new, this late-example Ford Sierra comes with a comprehensive service history; the first 25 years of its time on the road stamped by the supplying Ford dealer. ‘H795 TVG’ comes with original owner’s pack, radio code, documents, and receipts of work done. All aspects of the Sierra Ghia are rated as ‘excellent’ by the vendor, covering engine, transmission, electrics, interior, bodywork, and paint. Offered with 118,000 miles covered, the odometer only shows 18,000 since it’s a five-digit clock, but MOT history indicates that this Ford has been all the way around the dials once – though this is of course, unwarranted.

The Sierra was Ford’s mid-sized family-car for just over a decade, launched at the British Motor Show in 1982, with sales starting later that year. A replacement for the Cortina, the Sierra was offered in three- and five-door hatchback, four-door saloon, and five-door estate configurations, with a variety of engine options available – largely petrol, but two diesel units were offered – and a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. Famously raced in both rallies and touring car categories thanks to work with Cosworth, the Sierra underwent a facelift in 1987, with a completely revised front end, larger side windows, new rear light clusters, and a new engine option. Production lasted until 1993, when Ford replaced the Sierra with the Mondeo.

· Highly original example of Ford’s popular Sierra.

· Five-door hatch has undergone restoration in past few years.

· Only three owners from new, and comes with huge file of paperwork.
