Im sure they drive fast, but you're sat in a old Ford, with rubbish dash and interior, so who cares if it goes fast, it's not like you get to sit somewhere you'll enjoy the ride.
The best seats i have ever sat in for comfy fast road driving were the leather Recaro's in my Sapphire Cosworth, they were brilliant, far better than the seats in the Bently Continental R i had the pleasure of driving on a few long journeys last year.dusty79 said:
some stuff I didn't understand
Not doing much to help the "it isn't really that council, honest" cause, are we Yet to see an example of the lesser-spotted-well-cared-for-Cossie in the wild. Seen two in the last week. A Saphire, and an Escort. Both stters.
There is no shame in adult education. Get an A Level. Get a better job. Get a decent car. Then think about restoring a piece of motoring history to it's former glory.
It is like claiming you have shagged Marilyn Monroe. When she was in her prime, then - but digging her up and doing it 46 years later isn't quite so cool. Know what I mean

So what its not just about the interior, its thw whole package. Its is a really cool piece of kit imo.Performance icon,was preferred to the E30 M3 by many and rightly so.
I doubt many here have driven one which is likely given the UK recieved less than 2000 of them.No wonder it was a joyriders dream literally-they are such a rare find unlike the gte/gti/xr/mg which were the real contributors to premium hikes.
Ive been lucky enough to drive all the cossies apart from the RS500 and Rouse sport models and the 3dr stands out as the best,it is much more special than the saph and not as naff or plastic as the escort.
They are such unique cars to own and drive.

I owned an original Moonstone Blue 3-door Sierra Cosworth between 1986 and 1989. It was standard and cost around £17,000 as delivered.
Can you remember the reg of your 3 door just wondering if its mine D545BRP???Or does anyone know the history of D545BRP??????????
...............
If anyone's interested I'll tell the rather different tale of my 1984 Sierra XR4i - now that was really interesting... Ford really did produce some fantastic cars in the '80s!
Nice post - I'd be interested in hearing about the XR4i as that was the path I followed into Cosworth ownership ( mostly for insurance reasons but partly because I wanted to try an XR4i for myself as well after a friend's Dad had one )Can you remember the reg of your 3 door just wondering if its mine D545BRP???Or does anyone know the history of D545BRP??????????

What sort of reviews did these and the three door get when they were new?
They took the world by storm. It wasn't until later in the Sierra's life, circa the Sapphire, that sales started to slow and you could get one without a wait. The Escort Cosworth was also an awesome effort, but never set the world of fire quite like the original three door. They were very well received by the press at the time. mat205125 said:
What a way to start the day. I'm sitting here on , and about to switch over to the classifieds.
Had the 2wd Saph, and the Escort, but never scratched my 3dr itch
Same here, had a couple of 2wd saphs, a 4wd saph and an escort cosworth. Driven a few 3drs but never scratched that itch either!Had the 2wd Saph, and the Escort, but never scratched my 3dr itch
