1986 Ford Sierra GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"A Triumph of European Engineering"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it. The only thing I have had to do is some minor rust repairs.
General comments?
I purchased it from an English backpacker. I use it daily to and from work, a round trip of 30 kilometres, and it never misses a beat. It cost me $500.00 NZ to purchase.
The biggest thing I had to learn was to remember was the indicator switch is on the left of the steering wheel.
