Thank You very much Zigu! 🙏
The most Important thing would be, which engine the car has, because the Design is completely XR4i, but the car has 2.0 Pinto EFi also in the Papers but the owner is telling 100%, the car had 2.8 V6 and its an original XR4i.. ..
Also in your picture Engine code is NE. Sierra Cosworth shall have N5.
Found this from the internet for NE:
N stands for 2 ltr
E stands for High Compression+increased performance.
Not sure what kind of engine it`s.
Drive cond box you have A, which means that car is LEFT-hand drive.

1984 Ford Sierra XR4I
VIN: WF0BXXGBBBDP(hide last digits)It has digits 5 and 11 B. But as posted earlier found also 3 door Sierra with digit 5 and 11 E. I hope someone answer what E stands in the digits 5 and 11.
I hope also that someone in here, who has real XR4, can check presented VIN and the engine code.
This VIN can only provide basic information, and this requires access to the database, as the VIN itself is useless without decoding.
You can use the window sticker privacy feature at https://carfast.express/en/window_sticker to find out what options were originally installed and ensure everything matches the documentation.
This will save you time and eliminate the need to call the dealership or search for paper documents. It will also eliminate confusion with replacing parts and allow you to inspect the car before buying or selling.
