I remember reading about these when they were new, you seem to have all the info on them but I cant see how its worth spending much money fixing it?

Looks well past it, no engine, no one rated them when new so its not something thats worth spending much money on unless you are just going to keep it.

Or maybe put a YB in it that is what they should have done in the first place.

There were a few turbo 2.0 sierras in the 80's turbo technics and some others (FEV?) did them but they were never rated very well at the time due to the Cossie being so good.

The 8v I4's a much underrated engine (maximum torque comes up at 1500 rpm!) - I had two of these (albeit without turbos, one was EFI and the other carbed) and they both went like stink for what they were. Nice to see a Sierra being rebuilt and restored rather than raped for its gear lever surround or diff. Even better that it's a rare model that doesn't get a lot of coverage.

PS, edited the image tags for the mag shots so we can all see them

Be keeping my eye on this, rare old beast the 250R, cant even remember the last time i heard anyone mention them, nevermind seen one.

jim_robson

An amazing car and some great history, im glad its being restored.
Ive had a few twincam sierras, great engines and my turbo'd one was so much fun.

Such a rare machine that, and well worth saving. Hope you can get it back to close to original spec. It may have been in the shadow of the Cosworth, but such a rare car, it's definitely got to be saved!

xgar rwds

Exellent find mate, very interesting and rare. I didn't even know a 250r existed!

SMILER258

Cossie Sean

Twellsie, ironic but i sold them seats to Rich out of my PF feature car lol and hopefuly getting them back soon once i sort some funds out after the shells been painted

cant wait to get stuck in fabricating the motor bits

gcfcos

crumpet

arfurski

blue oval 24v

can you still get the rear spoiler anywhere??pm me thanks and good luck with it

massivewangers

I think there was someone on here that reproduced the spoilers, but I can't remember who. And I have a feeling I've seen copies on ebay too, so that's worth a look.

Definitely looks like it needs some work, but will be worth saving to own the only one in the world!

Any more thoughts on reproducing the engine bits? I think it would be a crime for it to have anything other than a turbo twinky under the bonnet!

thats damn cool hope you can get it looking as nice as it did before

Marcyg

Wicked car Love all things Sierra, and with this one being so rare it certainly ticks all the boxes. It's a shame more development didn't go into the twinky as I think they're one of the most under rated engines out there and I swear by them. Good luck getting it rebuilt, will be watching with interest

iamrab

any updates on this?

marky g

I love this car . hope you get it back to how it was when it was first built . i have a twincam tt kit in my 1.8lx . so it will be very interesting to see what goes into your engine build and manegment system. i will be keeping a very close eye on this project .

and wish you good look with it

Kevin_Mc

that's an amazing find, glad to see it's going to be restored back to the way it should be. Shame about the wheels though

amazing to think you've got a completely one-off car like that, the only one in the world.

sean if that was the only car ever produced how come you and i have a pair of seats for a 250-r

You miss what the man said - that was the only car produced when the kits were released - by definition it means more kits were available than cars.
