I thought maybe abroad because there is some strange things.I have never seen one and in the time of the Sierra I travelled to a few different countries.I just did a google search on Ford Sierra and went to images at the top of the page,there was a gold 3dr with a mk11 front end but like I say 3dr not Sapphire.If anyone finds some pics of one post em up

there was 1 advertised a few months ago on pistonheads i belive or even carandclassic but can remember witch , anyways it was a custom built 1 , and a pukka one at that ! not a rear doors welded up jobbie

it might have had a 3 door front doors on it, but the b pillers had all being moved back , inner sills were all re made a strengthend, rear quarters welded up useing cut down rear door skins and proper cut down glass rear 1/4 windows

its was a matenta colour if i remember rightly ! looked really special , like the 2 door mk1 / mk2 granadas saloons !

Hmmm interesting,how else would you modify it ?.
If it was a p100 but mk11 shape the mk 1 front end would be grafted on for me.The black one that was done was 100% imo
Would anyone be tempted to do the same with this,3dr the front ? and then a sapphire rear spoiler ?
I wonder if this would look good or totally wank ?.

I think a lot of people are confused.... assuming MK2 Sierra is a 'Saph'.


A Sapphire is the saloon version of a Sierra which was only made as a MK2, and also only made as a 4 door.

A MK2 Sierra came as a 5 door hatch in the UK and also as a 3 door hatch in the rest of the world, and never had the name 'Sapphire' on it.
