Had been on the lookout for a clean sierra for a while here in Ireland but nothing was really catching my eye for the money over here - so I decided to broaden my search to across the water and luckily found exactly what I had been looking for.

It is a 1989 sierra sapphire 2000e finished in stratos silver over moonstone blue. The car had been owned by a member of the forum for a number of years until I bought the car and the attention and level of detail he put into the car shines through.

I was originally weary about going to England for a car based on just pictures but the amount of detailed pictures of all around and in below the car put my mind to a bit of ease as it had clearly been well looked after and maintained.

Being the 2000e it comes with the leather interior and air con as standard. The seats have been upgraded with heated elements from a Granada. The interior had been retrimmed and a new original roof lining put in as it had sagged. Has a cosworth steering wheel retrimmed with the seats.

It has a full cosworth back end including LSD and cosworth brakes all round. Also has cosworth skirts spoiler and lattice alloys.

Since I got the car iv removed the towbar changed the plates and added a powerflow backbox and tip which gives it a nice note. Added a set of ford mudflaps and got the diff tightened.

Have fitted a set of front focus coilovers and lowered the rear. Sitting too low at the back, and cant put the front down any more as the coilover ring would catch the tyre - have a set of spacers just have to fit them - plan to bring the front down slightly and raise the back to try and get it nice and level.

Have it away in the garage for the winter now - unsure whether to get a cossie bumper and bonnet or not, will see how it goes.

Few pictures of the car;
