Ford Sierra.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Ford Sierra was a revolutionary family car when it launched in 1982, replacing the Cortina with bold aerodynamic styling and front-wheel or four-wheel drive options. Today, survivors are increasingly rare and valued by classic car enthusiasts, particularly the Cosworth and XR models. Most examples are now 30-plus years old, so rust, worn suspension, and outdated electrical systems are common concerns. Buyers need to check MOT records carefully to understand what they're taking on.
