4wd .. cheap by all accounts ..looks totally standard even got the recirculating dumpvalve even the top of fuel regulator is intact
steering wheel looks a bit worn .. but got to be worth it even if you just wanted to have a cheap cossie

It is cheap and I am tempted but just got my 24v resprayed and i'm back in love with that at the moment. I would like a saph but just not at the moment.

If anyone else wants me to have a look at it I could pop down at the weekend if its still there.

They have.

Sierra dashes went through two changes.

Note the instrument surrord is the same colour as the dash and that the bottom half is different to earlier cars?

The "hooded" dash didnt come along until J Reg. My cossie is a J Reg and has the hooded dash, as did my J reg XR4x4.

Not all J Reg sierra's had the hooded dash, only later cars.

its not a Cat equipped car, so wont have a green cam cover.

I think the Cat equipped car's came around on later J plates, as a J plate one i had didnt have a cat / lambda on it either, but another J plate cossie i have does have a lambda (did have a cat)
