This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, Online Auction - 16th December on Tuesday the 16th of December. Background:The Sierra 2.8 V6 4x4 Estate represented one of Ford’s most capable all-weather models of its era. Combining the familiar Cologne V6 with permanent four-wheel drive, it offered strong performance, sure-footed handling and impressive practicality. Estates fitted with this drivetrain were produced in notably lower numbers than the saloons and have become increasingly sought after among Ford enthusiasts, particularly as surviving examples are now scarce. With its usable performance and reliable mechanicals, the 2.8 4x4 Estate has earned a reputation as both a capable classic and a promising long-term collectable. The Car:With only one previous owner and a genuine mileage of 51,125, this Sierra 2.8 V6 4x4 Estate is an unusually well-preserved example of a rare model. Soon to be tax and test exempt, it remains in excellent condition inside and out, with only a few minor blemishes noted on the original two-tone paintwork. The interior presents particularly well and wants for very little. Mechanically, it is described as starting, running and driving as it should, with no immediate needs. A recent custom-made full stainless steel exhaust system has been fitted and is supplied with a lifetime guarantee, the car has been well looked after without expense spared. With only 19 examples reportedly still registered with the DVLA, most of which are on SORN, this car represents a rare opportunity to acquire a low-owner, low-mileage 4x4 Estate in strong condition and with clear future investment potential.
