Hi all! finally got myself on a ford forum, owned my sierra for about 3 weeks now, absolutely loving it!
Only 17 so its alot of car for someone my age

Here's some pics;


(ignore my poor nova in the background)





Its a 2.3 16v (ignore the spark plug cover) on a lightened flywheel. 4 branch and half cossie exhaust.

Fully pollybushed, koni springs and adjustable shocks all round.

Rs 7 spoke wheels.

every thing is cosworth as you can see etc etc.


Just wondered if anyone on here knows anything about the car? would be a great help

Nice boat

 

Welcome to Passionford bud your car looks lovely! I would of liked that when I was 17

 

nice looking sierra, welcome matey

 

Awesome to see young lads still loving the good old Saph!!

I got the piss taken out of me by lots of people statinf their grandad has one or its and ugly car etc!!! Nice to see 10 years down the line they still have that same effect with the young lads!!

Spot on for 17 pal

Welcome to Passionford

 

When everyone see's it and thinks its a cossie they don't call it an old mans car then

 

Lol I wish......i had 400 bhp at 21. I could make them shit there little knickers just didnt like taking them off for the Saph. The women that the Saph pulled me were all a little more streetwise lets say

All the lads loved it all the girls hated it, i just knew i was the only one knocking on the door of 150 mph so i cared not hahaha

 

Nice looking car great engine choice

 

I'd love to run big power like that! But I'll leav it a year ish soon!
I'm in the process of buying a 4x4 cossie that's rotten beyond belief for less than £500... Just gotta tell him when I want it! Thats going in mine

 

Looks smart what's the insurance like?

 

Welcome to passionford,nice first car!

 

This is my second car lol my 1.2 nova was £1000 this is £1500

 

Who do you have your insurance with?

I can't get anything less than £6000 on my 1.6 sierra and I'm 18 driving nearly a year

 

Welcome matey good choice for a first cat retro mate

 

welcome

 

Welcome

Very nice car to have at 17!

 

Can't remember who my insurance is with, I'll get back to you!

Not my first car, have had many before this but this is my second car on the road, first was a nova then this!

Been offered a very cheap set of twin 45's on the correct manifold, not sure wether to go for them as everyone is saying how awful they are on fuel!

 

what a cracking looking Sapphire!

well done that man

 

Welcome along, thats a really neat looking saph you have.

 

Oh i really like that,would of loved that at 17.

 

You wouldn't even get that Saff insured in it's original factory spec for £1500 at the age of 17.

DVLA have it registered as a 1.6, so too then will your insurance.

Be carefull matey.

 

lovely looking car.
when i was 17 i ran a few quotes on some sierras and i couldnt get one. prices started at around £2000. Not to bad considering what some of my mates paid at the time but still to much.
i settled for a fiesta mk1 1.1L i could insure for £980 iirc.
how on earth you have insured this i dont know! is it down as being a standard car?

 

Good luck have a crash and you are fucked even if it isn't your fault.

 

Cheers for all your comments! I'll take some on board!

 

My 1.8lx cossie replica cost me £2300 to insure when i was 17, and that was as a named driver on my dads insurance. That was back in early 2008.

 

Nice car fella! Wish I could get an insurance for that much!
I'm paying £2500 for an escort can

 

Nice car that matey.Does it go well then.
