Probably need the engine code to work it out.

The first two letters of the engine number will tell you the year of the manufacture of the vehicle it came from.
My engine number starts GA which makes it November 1986 which is pretty much the last batch of normal 3 doors I'm led to believe.

that doesn't look like an engine number. That's the number stamped on the front of the block isn't it?
The engine number is on the bottom right hand side of the block just behind the oil filter.

Here's a paragraph that explains what each engine type is and what car they were originally fitted into. Your YBB is a Red Top engine, but exactly what year of manufacture it's difficult to tell unless you know the engine number:
The various colour cam covers that distinguished each version were as follows: Red: YBB (Sierra Cosworth 2wd, both 3-door and Sapphire), YBD (Sierra RS500), YBJ (Sierra Sapphire 4wd, non cat); Green: YBG (catalyst equipped 4x4 Sierra Sapphire Cosworth); Blue: YBT (large-turbo Escort Cosworth); Silver: YBP (small-turbo Escort Cosworth).

Seen that car on eBay looked a decent enough toy, is it clean enough in person?

Presume the 'YBB' number is some sort of casting number, as above the engine number is underneath the turbo. Here's mine
