Introduction

With its roots in rally stages, race circuits and a legacy in motoring history, the Sierra Cosworth is a true all-rounder and fast with it.
The Ford Sierra Cosworth Sapphire 4x4 follows on from its motorsport-bred predecessor, retaining much of the same feel albeit with subtly tweaked handling traits of the original. Packaged in a more practical, stiffer, and manageable car, the Sierra Sapphire was rolled out in 1988 with well-weighted steering and an excellent balance of agility and stability.
The Sierra Sapphire makes for a genuinely engaging drive and was designed to win races, with its turbocharged 2.0L 16-valve engine producing around ~280 BHP thanks to its remap work carried out. The powerful engine drives all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, thanks to its 4x4 capability, the Cosworth has plenty of grip.
The Ford has had several items of mechanical work carried out on it during its current ownership including; new cam belt, new intercooler, new hoses and starter motor. Other upgrades have included new wheels, AP Racing brake kit, boost and a mild tune carried out to the turbo, resulting in its power increase. The Cosworth also has maintenance works with the rear wheel arches being restored and under-seal completed, it comes with current MOT valid until 25.05.2025.
This 1992 example is an exciting opportunity for fast Ford fans to own a great looking Cosworth with some very well suited performance upgrades, and all reversible if the new owner wishes.
This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Colin the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
