Last summer (2013) i ended up buying this car off my grandparents who had it for ages, i wasn't on the lookout for a car at the time but some thing`s you just can`t say no to ! They didn`t have room for 2 cars and wanted something new with power steering... so with a tear in their eye`s it had to go, they've had it for 15-20 years. So i got a little emotional about it leaving the family and in a few hectic days i had gotten the cash together and a deal was struck ! What did i end up with? A 1989 Ford Sierra Sedan "Plaza" 107.000 KM 2.0 DOHC Here it is shortly after i got it  I spent a few weekends making it look pretty , and ended up and getting the shine back in the paint and bumpers and making the engine room look fresh again        I put a few thousand KM`s in it over the summer before i gave it a "MOT" (Last 2 years here) Took off the plates and parked it at my brothers farm for the cold months...  This is what i drove all winther...  Currently she is getting a little attention before i let her out again for the summer. Best Regards from Denmark ! |

I remember seeing a rare two door version of a late Sapph when I was in Germany many years ago. Always thought a Cossie 4x4 2 door would have been great. I like this one too - looks as though your granddad took care of it.

You have done an excellent job of cleaning this up - it looks to be in superb condition. They're genuinely good looking cars.

This is what i drove all winther... Best Regards from Denmark ! Bloody hell you're a brave man! I did two and half years working in Copenhagen and that was two winters too many! Never mind riding round in that Baltic wind on a bike as well. Sierra looks very nice for a clean. As dbdb says, a good looking motor. |

Nice Rohloff. They seem to be quite common in Germany and Denmark. Are they cheap there? Over here they're silly money (UK)
