Saw this advertised for sale in Ireland. Ad reads as follows:

87 3dr sierra cosworth 4x4 .1 of only 13 built in 4 wheel drive.fair condition for year.64000miles.has 4x4 front and built by tickford.or px

Registration check shows it as a Sapphire Cosworth but what's the description all about? One of 13 built by Tickford? I've never seen or heard of a 3 door Tickford built 4x4, especially with the newer front & rear tail lights.

i seen it mate ,i think he is dreaming to be honest

it just doesnt look right

 

Looks shit tbh.

 

Dont look right,
everyone will say replica too

 

It doesn't look great at all. I'm just intrigued about his "story" about it being 1 of 13 built by Tickford. The fact that it's registered from day 1 as a Cosworth is means it's not just a replica too.

 

am i the only one that thinks thats quite cool. not a tickford built piece but different all the same

 

I am the rs chappie in the Tickford Club - and this is a new one on me???

 

that is a funny looking piece of kit

 

I've seen one before years ago but I was just under the impression it was a rep built on an import south African sierra.

 

I think it looks quite nice with the sapphy lights, but again never heard of tickford doing this.
Ford built a 4wd 3 door however during cossie development, but that was std 3 door appearance wise.

I quite like that front end on the 3dr.

Very unusual as all the mk 2 3dr sierras were left hand drive, and they also have the saff fuel filler with the big flap, that shell has a mk1 filler.

My guess is someone has reshelled a 4x4 saff cos into a mk1 3dr shell and fitted the front end from the donor and transfered the ID from the saff into the 3dr shell and then made up a story about Tickford being involved.

 

that sounds more like it paul

 

After reading this an looking at the Sierra's in the links from this forum http://forum.fordsierraclub.co.uk/vi...p?f=15&t=46471

I cant help but think its a foreign car,hope the link work and look who started the thread Dojjmeister.
Also look at the rear lights,smoked but round ? same as mk2.I didnt think they would fit into a original 3dr shell ?.Oh yeah,ones been converted to right hand drive as well.

 

Me too Andy

 

i think it looks pretty good, just not as good as the original front end. id agree with what paul said. chances are the owner believes the story about it being a tickford this and that as the previous owner piled it all on his to sell it.

 

looks like a rusty dog.the scuttle is different form 3dr to saph.i think its more likely a mongrel of a thing and not tickford built.
