1988 Ford Sierra GL review from UK and Ireland
"A Under rated fast classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had engine problems when I received the car.
In the end I needed :
New Pistons.
Camshaft.
Cam Belt.
Valves.
Exhaust.
General comments?
One word.. Fast!
The Interior is a little dull, but when covered in silver duck tape it actually looks rather attractive.
The handling was not the best, I found a lot of under steer under cornering, and occasionally easy to face the other way while traveling.
