EXTERNAL
Completely original example having no restoration been carried out is nothing short of mind blowing. The factory Ford Radiant Red (code P9) paintwork is simply original with a deep shine throughout, Two miniscule chips to the offside rear door barely detract from an otherwise pristine finish. No rust present or corrosion whatsoever and all factory panels are straight and pin sharp. All exterior trim, glass and lights remain in excellent order, With manufacturer correct badges and decals and even the supplying Ford main dealer rear window sticker. The clean engine bay is totally standard and still has all the correct engine and chassis identification numbers confirming this to be a true genuine RS Cosworth example.
INTERNAL
The factory fresh interior of this unrepeatable car takes you back to a 1989 Ford Main Dealer showroom! All the door shuts and hinges are spotlessly clean and polished. Trimmed in special order original Raven Black full leather (code 6R), the seats and matching door cards are nothing short of impeccable, The dashboard is free from any cracks and all incorporated switches and functions are intact and perform as they should. The three spoke leather trimmed sports steering wheel and gear knob are in near factory condition, The standard Ford electronic sound system (model 2006) with power amplifier remains fully operational.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Fitted with the standard 1993cc Dual Over Head Cam (DOHC) engine with the Garrett AiResearch T.03B turbocharger and intercooler, the racing pedigree of this car is truly evident. Performance figures of 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 150mph enable this car to firmly hold its own among modern contenders. The standard Borg-Warner five speed manual transmission delivers wonderfully light and crisp changes throughout the range
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES-
The factory fitted 15 X 7 RS Sierra Cosworth 'Lattice Style' alloy wheels are unrestored and perfect. The stamped Ford badge and serial numbers on each wheel are clearly showing. The wheels are shod in brand new and now unobtainable and highly sought after Dunlop SP Sport D40 tyres, as fitted when new. Diagonally split hydraulic, anti-lock braking assistance installs infinite confidence.
HISTORY FILE
This has to be one of those vehicles you come across once in a lifetime, With Mark Bailey being one of the former keepers and being part of the historic ‘Bonkers Collection’ Having full service history with 7 stamps in the book,

Stunning car, super rare if factory red but that colour just doesn't suit a Sapphire Cossie.
