1991 Ford Sierra Laser
Discussion
Not so long ago I bought myself a K10 Nissan Micra ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ) to do me for my winter commute. However, no matter how hard I tried I just could not get along with it. So I decided to go for something a bit bigger. I have always been into my old Fords so I was looking through Escorts, Orions and even a Cortina when I saw this up for sale.
It's a 1991 Sierra Laser model, with the 1.8 CVH engine. Owned by an old boy from new who has recently given up driving. So on the plus side its only done 49,000 miles and has had a very easy life. However unfortunately there are a few bumps and scrapes along it when he has driven it into the garage! Plus he used the car to cart his dog around in, so the interior is covered in dog hairs. (Anyone know the best way to get dog hairs out of the seats?).
So after a good clean up and a wash here it is!

Looks great. I love seeing well looked after "regular" cars.
As for the dog hair, these types of things work well on clothes (never tried it on car upholstery though).

Very nice - that brings back some memories! My first car was the same - '91 (J) Laser, only in Moondust Silver with 1.6 Pinto. That looks amazing, I hope you will keep it unmolestered, they are getting very thin on the ground now. Mine was scrapped having gone well past 165k miles, not before donating many parts to keep other Sierras going.

i did NOT know this.
Well it works for me anyway. Golden retriever fur + black carpet = nightmare! The vacuum picks up hardly anything but no probs with the Marigolds - use the rubbery ones not the slippery smooth "plasticky" ones!Edited by Evil Monkey on Sunday 16th December 21:02
