Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This 1989 Ford Sierra Sapphire L, having spent over two decades in storage, now presents as a restoration project or a source of parts. Recently retrieved from The Vendor’s garage after 20+ years of dry storage, the vehicle will require some attention to bring it back to roadworthy condition. The car is currently running but lacks functional brakes and will need recommissioning to be safely driven. Maintenance & History: The history file contains a handful of invoices for work completed before the year 2000, and MOT certificates from 1997 and 1998. The vehicle has a service book stamped five times for services carried out between 1991 at 38,043 miles and 1994 at 76,844 miles. It comes with its original Ford bookpack, containing the Ford Sierra Handbook, Ford Car Owner Handbook, Ford Audio booklet, and the Ford Service Plan, offering insight into its earlier upkeep. First owned by Daimler Hire Ltd of London, this Sierra Sapphire L has had just one owner since 1990, when it was purchased by The Vendor. The car was used by The Vendor up until around 1998/99 before it was the put away for long-term storage. The Model: Launched in 1987 as a four-door saloon variant of the popular Ford Sierra, the Sierra Sapphire catered to UK buyers who preferred a saloon style over the standard hatchback. The revised front end and headlight design gave it a fresh look, bridging the gap left by the Ford Cortina’s departure. As a mid-size family car, the Sierra Sapphire was both practical and affordable, and it became a common sight on UK roads through the late ’80s and early ’90s. Sale Insight: This 1989 Ford Sierra Sapphire L provides a rare opportunity for enthusiasts seeking either a restoration project or a source for parts. With only one former keeper and a largely complete set of original documentation it offers provenance alongside the project. |
