I've just read on another site I frequent that an RS500 Sierra has been burnt out in a bodyshop fire.
Ouch !
Category A write off = no salvageable parts and crushed.
No loss there then, that's another Jelly mold melted Ouch !

Sorry, but they never were my Cup of tea
Love the Escort version though 
One evening, in the late 80s, I turned off the Bagshot Road on to the Nile Mile Ride with a Sierra Cosworth behind me. There's a bit of straight, an island for the swimming pool and another bit of straight before a sharp right hander. He couldn't wait and floored it. Red line in second, third and, for all know, fourth and fifth. He really went for it.
That showed me.
I was in a bog standard, twenty five year old Austin 1100.
Put in my place good and proper.

I miss that turbo acceleration......
I could overtake anything normal quicker than it took to think about it.
Did you have the problem of coming the closest you had ever come to running into the back of someone under surprise amounts of acceleration rather than under boring old braking? I could overtake anything normal quicker than it took to think about it.

version it also had acres of lag.
I took a pic once of the boost gauge with the needle way past the red.

I went to a showroom in Birmingham the other week to look at a Porsche 918 they had in stock 
but also in stock they had a Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth up for £115,000
No one's going to pay that unless it's done 2000 miles or is an ex BTCC winner or summat.but also in stock they had a Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth up for £115,000
Which colour ?
Blue or white are much rarer than black.
