1987 Ford Sierra GL Sapphire review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap thrills!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The carburettor went at 111000 so I had that done, but that was it.
Oh, and it leaked water into the driver's footwell, but I never found out where from!
General comments?
Very quick and not too heavy on fuel.
Did 22000 miles in 6 months and I expected it to let me down on a daily basis, but it didn't.
Bought for £225 - sold for £295 six months later - not bad.
