never seen one before, south African import

Never heard of one before. Just looks like a 2 litre ghia though

 

Nice to see something different though, amazing how different "normal" sierras look to cossies i think

 

How can it have been moted in the uk KM not MPH clocks !

 

Thats a bit different... thought the only strange/special sierra was the Minker and Rs500

 

He is looking £5000 for it on another website

 

Intresting, was there ever one with a V8?

 

as its from south africa, its most likely a 3.0 essex engine with efi, i know they put the 3.0 in the P100 in south africa, yes they did put a v8 in a sierra, again, in south africa, it was the xr8

 

perana cars (basil green) of south africa, put different engines in all different fords, most well know here is the perana capri 5.0, but the did do a 3.0 amd 3.4 v6 sierra, so i guess the rs3000 is one of theirs

XR3 Perana looks interesting with that window vent on the back

 

look at this section in the south african Donkis

like this one

 

What a steaming turd

Can't see anything interesting about it, shit wheels, shit seats, naff motor. Scrap the cunt

 

5.0 v8? faaakin 'ell

 

why not nothing in the mot about mph or kph clocks or at least what i am aware of

 

gotta hand it to the S africans, they do like adding a twist to the blue oval

 

Wow more sierra i didnt know ford made.Very interesting.

 

Loads of Jap cars over here reading in kmph...

 

that seat says more miles to me

 

Saw this on FSOC, think it's rather cool. Strong money for what it is though. As for the title, crap? Don't think so mate. Sometimes I get the impression Cossy drivers (not all, just some) forget what they're actually driving. A cossy is still just a Sierra, but with added go faster bits

 

^ Some valid points!

I wonder what it goes like, could be. Decent sleeper tbh.

 

agree.

Crap, no... just not to your taste.

I know plenty of people who think anything Ford is crap, come to mention that anything in the same class as Evo's, Cossies etc etc. Not everyone likes the same thing.

 

South African XR8 - RWD, 5.0 V8 in a hatchback shell.

Pretty rare thesedays

 

Would make a pretty nice project, think of the sound they could produce...

 

I don't get how it's shit? It looks like a normal Sierra to me

 

Just yet another blinkered Ford 'fan' that thinks anything that's not a Cosworth on Comps is shit...

 

I like it,

More interesting than the usual shit

 

i like it bet that old v6 boat anchor hasn't actually got much go in though

 

From what I read, the Essex is about the same as the Cologne (sp). The latter is more tunable though

 

boils my piss posts like this,

"not YB powered so its fucking shit"

badge whores, seriously, stop being hypocrites!

i would love a rare sierra that wasnt a Cosworth, oh wait, been there and got the same response................... DOH!

Sean.

 

I like it too but then i like different

 

Exactly what i thought.

 

I saw this in Johannesburg a couple of months back

 

but it doesn't look like anything special just a normal basic model with the later ghia alloys

 

But what makes a Saff look special? They're just Sierra's after all It's all about what's under the body

 

Put it on some comps then see what you think.

 

Would rather have something that looks normal but will rip your eyes out, than a cossy look-a-like that's powered by a 1.6 pinto *shudders*

 

very cool could make an awesome sleeper

 

Bet it's not even same power as a cologne.
