The Gold Cup Classic Car Auction
1989 Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth
Registration - F277 STF
Chassis No. - WF0FXXGBBFXJ11664
M.O.T. - September 2022
Odometer - 122,000
‘F277 STF’ was first registered in May 1989. Its burgundy bodywork is teamed with black leather upholstery and grey carpets and the Cossie rides on period correct alloy wheels. Its underside has recently been treated to a full restoration and respray and is in great shape, as can be seen from the accompanying photos. The door mouldings are not currently fitted to the car, but are included in the sale. A peek under the bonnet reveals some of the common Cossie upgrades such as performance intake filter, silicone hosing, alloy header tank etc, and we understand from the vendor that c.411bhp is now on tap, from the fully forged engine - all paperwork for which is on file. The vendor presently grades the engine and transmission as ‘excellent, and the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as ‘good’, though notes that the roof lining would benefit from attention. He is now offering the Ford complete with sunroof, large history file and a current MOT valid to September 30.
Released in the September of 1982, the Ford Sierra was a replacement for the ubiquitous Cortina and its German sibling, the Taunus. Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i version in 1983. This was followed by the XR 4x4 in 1985, the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986, the Sierra RS500 Cosworth in 1987, the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth in 1988 and the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 in 1990. Thanks to cleaner aerodynamics, the Sapphire’s drag coefficient of 0.33 was superior to that of the original three-door cars, allowing marginally superior performance figures of 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 150mph. Some 13,140 examples were built at Genk, Belgium over the model’s short two-year reign.
In summary:
- The underside recently restored and resprayed
- Engine upgraded to give c.400bhp
- Comes complete with large history file and current MOT
