Default A few questions

Just Having a bit of a blonde week at the moment wondering if
someone can clarify a few things.

I was out driving at the weekend and spotted a saph in a farmers yard in a bit of a state.

It looks like a cossie but I just had a quick look at it, but before I go back to the guy that owns it I want to ceck if it's the real deal or a replica cause it's runnin a bloody diesel engine!!!!!!!

This thing is pretty fucking rough but might be worth a few quid in parts
if it's original.

I want to check a few things out with you guys,

When did they stop making 2wd cossies ( this car is 1991 )

What was the front bumper/sideshirts made from ( the skirts look like Fibreglass)

What interior should a 91 have?

Buy the way the car has a 4x4 bonnet.

Before you all cry "just leave it there and buy a decent one" remember
I'm in ireland and they are as rare as rockin horse shit over here and even parts can make good money.

I think 4x4 started on 1990 on H plates.

It should have either a cloth or leather recaro interior

Yep,

Think so, only thing is it's a 1.8td which never came in a sierra.
It wasnt uncomon for guys to import cossies and the like and throw
oil burners in them over here for insurance purpose's

I think this car is way past saving any way.
