Default Sierra RS Cosworth 3dr

Hello.

I have a question for you all that I dont find any answer to.

Cosworth 3dr with out sunroof, how many was build? And 3dr with no sunroof, is that called motorsport chassi?!

I hope some of you have a little clue or just a ca. number. I have one moonstoneblue my self, offcourse with no sunroof, first time reg. 11.02.1987. and would LOVE to know how many of thees that were produced...

PS: Sorry my english

All Right hand drive 3dr cosworths came with the sunroof hole from the factory, but in europe certain left hand drive cars had a lower spec option with no sunroof or electric windows/ central locking for the 3dr.

It does not mean its a motorsport shell, just a lower spec version.

It may though have had a shell change at some point over the last 20 years into a motorsport shell

Numbers wise I dont think anyone has that data anymore sorry

If I´m not wrong all the RS cosworth 3door came with sunroof, english ones and european ones too.
What I think is you car is been re-shelled, maybe due to a crash.
Check your car documentation, if there was a re-shelled, sure there is a note on it.

Well I guess you dont know everything then, as I have seen quite a few genuine ones without sunroof and minus electric windows and central locking.

Been discussed and confirmed many times before

I know for a fact that in europe you could get sierra 3door cos without central locking, electric windows and sunroof. This do to the fact a friend of mine got a non-sunroof one that we know the story of back to day one. never bent a panel, never had paint and one of about 30 originaly sold new in norway.
