My new Toy (Non Vauxhall)

Here is my new toy a 1992 J reg Ford Sierra Sapphire 4x4 Cosworth, done only 64,000 miles with service history and every MOT. Last owner had it 7 years and for the last 4-5 years has been kept off the road over winter so not a spot of rust on the bodywork. Its a quite rare smokestone blue (photo doesn't do it justice) and only had a few sensible mods like 17" RS alloys, Koni suspension and a stainless exhaust.

Will get some better pics if the sun ever comes out.

That looks superb mate.

I love the wheels, they make the car IMO.....I dare say some Ford purists would be jumping around wittering on like loons about fitting 17's on a Sapph, but feck em, they are RS rims and they suit the car....plus the standard rims are nasty and too small anyway ;)

Not 100% sure on that grille though??

The sun has been out and so has the Cosworth, done just over 400 miles in it now with no problems at all, passed its MOT last wednesday with no problems and the only thing pointed out was a CV boot that looks close to splitting.
