EXTERIOR This very late Ford Sierra Sapphire on a K prefix has covered just 24,851 miles from new and has been father and son owned since 1995! Finished in factory original Radiant Red, (Code P 9), the paintwork presents in stunning condition throughout. There is a deep uniform shine to the factory fitted panels which are pin straight with perfect shut lines. Close scrutiny reveals nothing other than very carefully touched in chips and scratches which certainly do not detract from the astonishing presentation. Originality seekers will be pleased to see security etchings both to the factory glass and genuine Ford light fitments and Carello headlamps. The supplying dealer number plates and rear screen sticker remain fitted. The underside is factory original and very clean with no weld repairs or heavy underseal. Totally unspoilt unlike many a Sapphire that fell fate to becoming a Cosworth replica, this is a very rare find in such lovely condition. INTERIOR The Astral fabric trim in Grey colour scheme, (Code L Q), is spotlessly clean and in excellent order with firm bolsters and bases. The matching door cards have no shrinkage or damage. The colour-keyed velour carpet is clean and free from wear and the neutral tone headlining is excellent. The fully intact dashboard, of the smoother style and as fitted to only the very latest Sierra’s, has no cracks or distortion and is fitted with a security LED. All switchgear is functional, and the original Ford radio/cassette (Model 2006) remains fitted and operational. The spotless boot area has immaculate carpeting, an undamaged circular ply-board wheel cover and factory build stickers are intact. A very rare modern classic Ford remaining exactly as intended. ENGINE & TRANSMISSION The 1.8 CFi engine develops 86bhp at 5250rpm and 145Nm of torque at 3000rpm, achieving a top speed of 106mph and 0-60mph in 11.7 seconds. Remaining in standard specification, the engine bay is fabulously clean and displays factory plates, stickers and original inner wings with Ford emblems clearly visible. The engine is beautifully quiet and smooth and the five-speed gearbox is sturdy and effortless. The perfect retro drive! WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES The original 14” X 5½” steel wheels wear correct and pristine LX wheel trims and are shod in brand new matching premium brand Uniroyal 185/65 R14 tyres. The spare wheel has the original Michelin MX-L tyre still fitted! The dual line servo assisted G-Valve brakes with ventilated front discs and rear drums bring the car up to a steady, straight and assured halt.
