One for Andy D

Post by Paul G »

Just think of all the holidays you could have whilst taking your XR with you and keeping an eye on it 24/7! :drive:

Just hope that the Portaloo doesn't leak!

:applaud: Nice find Paul :D

The dogs could travel up top without getting the car dirty :wave:

Joking aside, this is a cheap way into V6 motoring :o https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Sierra- ... erra&rt=nc

Nice car, been well maintained by the look of it. Not sure about the grille though and looks as if the rear arches have been done.

:agree:
But you could throw say £3000 at a full repaint and still have a car cheaper than equivalent condition Capri..... :cheers:

Spot the difference competition time...…. :D

Why do this to a Sierra? Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to have bought a tent instead?

It doesn't do the Sierra any favours :headscratch:

This pic was taken a couple of miles from me https://www.gumtree.com/p/vans/ice-crea ... 1169212651
I had seen it around but never had a close look at it.

Now starting at £3500 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Sierra- ... SwV3pbcJfA

Not good pictures considering it may only appeal to a handful of people anyway :roll:

This is very nice and I would have been very tempted if I didn't already have a Sierra https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLASSIC-FORD ... Swqo5beWpO

I was looking at that, it's certainly a very clean looking example and will be a good buy for someone.

Not many around now and I have always liked them...It's done enough miles that it can still be used and not parked under a cover for ever :)

I think it's a good price with offers invited, an equivalent Capri would be at least double that. Many people won't pay for the Sierra unless it says Cosworth :? I think they are great cars for relativity cheap prices....
