Just a quick question, I have come across a December 1992 Sierra XR4x4i 2.9 in what i think is ebony black. According to the Mot history check its done 144k and over the last couple of MOT tests its done less than 1000 miles a year. I know its not a cosworth so its never gokng to be worth the same money etc, but is it somethi g worth enquiring about?

I always fancied one myself, tough old units and sound great.

the value of these are rising as with all 80's /90's hot hatches and performance cars,
Buying and selling on for profit isn't going to get you a round the world trip but it will get you a good drink
If your buying it to keep and use then yes they make ok cars and are getting very rare now so will bring you some attention

I have had one and wish i never sold it. Good strong engines plenty of torque and good fun and quite rare to see now.

Get it bought matey. I would swap my ST17O for one.

I spoken to a friend who is in the XROC and he said in the northwest region there is only one XR4i. So he said I should defiantly enquire about it for the reasons said above. So I shall report back when I have some news

I actually enjoyed my 2.9 4x4 better than the saph cos I had as it was strong and reliable where as I was under bonnet every bloody week of the cos

I say go for it, cant see you loosing money wise, and that v6 sounds lovely.

stuboy

have you bought it yet??

chris cdti

Still not heard anything from the owner but managed to get a sneaky pic the other day. Looks nothing spectacular but it is what it is an old Sierra.<br/>

Get it Chris! Looks like we are both moving on from mk6 escorts lol. Or have you still got the radiant red 4x4?

chris cdti

No stu sadly its gone to SouthWales, some old guy offered me a very fair amount for the car and bought it without seeing it. He put the money in the bank then got his transport people to pick it up. Easiest sale of anything ive ever had.

Like i said its no cosworth or looks anything spectacular but i cant say when the last time ive seen a facelift Sierra XR4x4i 2.9

Deffo buy it - great strong fun. A little under powered in 4x4 but can only go up in value.

My mates got a turbo technics one sat in his garden. Been sat there for 20 years in the grass, the body will be shot but I've always said if he ever scraps it I want the engine

chris cdti

I'm the same Glenn. When I was a kid my dad always had Sierras and had more or less every version mk1 and 2 petrol and diesel even a 2000e but never a Cosworth or an XR.

chris cdti

That's what I was thinking but I wouldn't really want to sell it on for a profit etc as there doesn't seem to be a lot of them about.

chris cdti

From what I've seen and read some of them twin blow V6's can make a fair amount of power and shift a fair bit.

gcfcos

I'd love to have a drive of one and see how it compares to the old Cossie

Heres my old one Chris.

Thats a nice one Glen, how long ago did you have that?
Its a shame when you think about how many 1000's of them there were on our roads but now you might only see a sierra once in a blue moon.

Knew a lad in south Shields years ago had one on 2 x T2. Went ok and had some grunt but not too impressive. My car at stage 3 was much quicker.

I sold this 10 years ago with a full cossie interior and the escos wheels for 300 quid.


I kick myself now for doing it.

chris cdti

That GT looks smart Glenn

would love another black 2.9 xr4x4, scrapped one years ago, as wasn't worth anything, sold all the good bits first tho!

I was watching a sierra ghia estate 4x4 on ebay and it sold for 2600.

Yeh i miss that old sierra.

Here's mine



Complete with twin turbo v6

Looks nice Brian.

gjh

Nice! Bet it goes well with the twin turbo set up.

DangerousBryan

Needs a rebuild next year as the oil pressure is a bit crap. Will stick with a stage 1 saph but has no lag what so ever and loads of torque. There only t2 turbos so there only good for about 250hp.

JFB Tech

Here's mine, twin turbo. Pulls well and absolutely no lag, she's on full boost at 1800 rpm.

DangerousBryan

Nice,are you running aftermarket management or have you just moved the air flow meters?
