1989 Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 2wd review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken rear subframe, blown head gasket, crank sensor, full engine rebuild[at 89k], starter, alternator, warped discs front, siezed rear calipers, cluch cable, fuel pump, etc .....this car is looked after - imagine if it was not. It is still worth it believe it or not.
General comments?
Around 20 to a gallon,150 mph all day, in the driveway on stands a lot but if you can have access to a runabout, what can you get for between 4 grand and 12 that does so much.
