1986 J Reg FORD SIERRA 2.0 RS Trade Centre 3 Doors, Hatchback, 62,000 miles, White. ABS, Alloy wheels, Central locking, Electric windows, Power assisted steering, Sunroof. made on special order, the only one in the country, very rare, fully . . . . (trade)

 

looking good that is

 

how rare is that

 

am sure there was a J plater up in scotland a good few years back , ill ask ma mate as he new him

 

Erm........ 1986...... J-Plate.

Not possible! lol.

Its an error somewhere along the lines, even if it was a special order, it still cant be a 86 car, using a J registration plate.

 

ive seen a k reg 3 dr on ebay wasnt registerd till 1992 as was reshelled or something

 

It's effectively a replica, so is worth parts value, or replica money, end of story.

 

The K plate. Was it the K500 COS 3 door RS500 replica?

 

yea thats the one been in passion ford aswell i think

 

If it was built from new parts it could be a Jreg.
If it wasnt registered when built in 1986, but registered in 1992 would that still qualify for a J plate?? Hmmm

I have a Genuine D-reg sapphire, but thats the other way round.

 

ave just spoke to my mate who has driven this about 12 years ago and it is real but was no registered till 92 if the same one . it has also had a rear quarter

 

Result

 

if a car is built up useing a new shell and all major componants are new eg engine it can be registered with the dvla on a prefix of that year i.e a new car. if the car was built from a new shell but numerous componants from a donor car were used such as the engine it would be registered on the prefix of the donor car. if the car was built using parts of an unknown origin then the car would be on a Q prefix. so this car was basicaly a fully new cosworth. also i know where there is a brand new 3dr shell for silly money! ford still had numerous RS500 shells up untill around 1995

 

Yes i thought so as their was a x plate escos in one of the ford mags a few years back.

 

I just hope nobody is going to pay silly money for this "genuine" J plate 3 door...

 

Have seen this car advertised before, it is still at the same place that has been trying to sell it for years now. It is genuine but not in that great condition

 

it is a genuine cossie along with the x plate escort
