Hi Tony,
I've been away for a couple of weeks so have only just seen this post and didn't see the Sierra on ebay. Was it a 4wd or 2wd? It's a shame the Sapphire wasn't a 4x4, that would have been ideal! I'd prefer a stripped donor car if possible to save me from having to sell off the parts people may want and dumping the rest.
If you hear of anything else coming up for sale, preferably a 4x4, I would appreciate it if you could let me know, finding anything without an RS Cosworth badge and commanding big money isn't easy here!
There was a XR4x4Ti on carsales for a while with the 2.3 turbo I4 and although it was advertised as a Sierra I'd say it was a Merkur from North America as I didn't think the UK spec XR4x4s came with anything other than a V6. They were asking over $10,000 which was far more than I'd want to spend on a donor car and was concerned about using a shell that had possibly been converted from LHD to RHD.
