To commission is to bring into service.
To Re commission is to bring back into service

It's been standing a while (25yrs), it'll need anything with fluids changing as a minimum plus anything rubber / flexible.

Given it's probably the only one for sale at the moment, if anyone really wants one that's the price they'd have to pay.

I doubt that it's really for sale, more of a feature to attract buyers to thier website, and it works.

The granddaddy of the Rs . Find another. It will get sold for close to that when the right buyer comes along, as said its been around for a while.

It's valuable because the car is eligible for classic motorsport too

Aye that's been up a few times,price does seem high but then again I think £40-50000 for a sierra is ridiculous myself.

I don't think anybody claimed it was an RS did they?

Certainly the granddaddy of the whole RS range though. The twink was just a proof of concept for the RS1600 and the rest was history
