    Sad times is that, F plate is 1989 mate, I had an F plate XR3i back in 1996
    My Own Dad died back on 24th May, I still think about all the cars he owned as I was growing up, Austin 1100 then the big 1800 - then he Triumph 2000, after that a Princess then MK5 Cortina, blah blah blah.
    He managed to finally buy a brand new car which was an Astra, we'll have to clear his old house and move the car in a couple of weeks, everything now is still sinking in, we ''THINK'' these people will be around forever, I walked away from his hospital bed on Wednesday 22nd May telling him Id see him again on Saturday, sadly he died on Friday 24th May, never thot for a minute that walk away was my last.
    Thanks again man.

    So sad and my condolences to the gentleman, I would have a go at restoring it if it came up for sale, doors are no issue, can get replacements, it’s the sills and floor pans etc and rear arches too that go badly on the Sierras, a welder’s nightmare as I know haha but I respect he wants to keep it as a memory of his brother in that way I was reading a article where a guy in America was buried in his classic car, burnt fingers scorched hands burnt eye brows it’s happened to me because of my love for classic vehicles. Great video Stokze, keep them coming mate.

    @paul7TM 19 днів тому +3

    I remember the very first Sierra I saw in Sheffield in late '82. Just a bog standard one. It just looked so strange compared to the Cortina. People were very fond of the Cortina and it put some off at first. Then there were millions of Sierras. Here we are over 40 years later. Life really flies by 🕊️

      Our family have had so many Cortina’s and Sierra’s and Granada’s and Transits etc over the years, my parents are now in their seventies and I have my own Ford Cortina MKlV 1978 in dark blue 1.6 L still has it’s pinto engine in it, I agree with you the Sierra’s put a few off for sure but after a while people grew to them , best top spec on the MK1 Sierra was either the RS cosworth or XR4i or the 2.3 Ghia V6 as for MK2’s and Saphire’s it was either the Sierra XR 4X4 2.9 or the RS Cosworth Saphire’s , think the old bill used them too.

    Great video here Stu. Sad story but it goes to show why some cars sit rotting away.
    A lot of people here saying the bonnet is "incorrect" it is actually a correct bonnet but for some reason only a few lower-spec Sapphires got them. I have seen them with this bonnet from new.
    Also, it's a 1.8 GL and the old chaps' brother passed away in 1996.

    I do get tired of people saying ''oh why don't they just get rid of it?'' what some people don't realise is that some things are just sentimental regardless of how much it's worth. Eg i've got a broken clock that belonged to my grandparents. I'll never get rid of it because other than memories that's the only thing i've got left that belonged to them.

    Another great video Stu - very sad, but what a lovely old guy letting you film and telling you the back story to his late brother's car.
    As with the previous chap with the bikes, you were very patient with him and let him recall facts he probably hasn't spoken about in ages. Just maybe you might have encouraged him to do something to protect the poor old Sierra 😢
    Keep up the good work - love these videos 👍👍
