WOW WOW WOW back in the late 80s i had a Sierra Cosworth 3 door not the RS500 but I loved mine beyond belief. I was 19 and blew best part of 20k and my first insurance premium was 672 UK pounds which back then was a fortune. Had to sell it it 89 as the insurance went crazy and it wasn't worth it. Best three years driving i ever had, more people looked at me as it was gorgeous. I got an invite to Skelmersdale Ford who were launching a Capri tickford and i parked next to it. bahahahhahahaha i couldn't get out the car as people were looking at my car not the Capri, then the manager asked me to park it round the back out the way so people would look at the Capri instead. Lets say my head was MASSIVE. I've always been a Ford man and always will be. For me, the 70's 80's and 90's were Fords days and they made some incredible cars. Ford need to bring back the Sierra Cosworth even as a special edition and Escort RS and Capri Brooklands and a few others and show the world that not everyone wants to be the same and standing out in the crowd is what Ford drivers want. I do any way. Long live Ford...
I think people are missing the point. It's a homologation special hand built by Aston Martin and tickford. ANY homologation special is going to come at a premium.
Classic Ford's are awesome and I Love my V8 Capri to bits but this kind of money is insane! The cosworth has never appealed to me. But hey ho...they're classics now. Good luck to the former owners with their new found wealth and hope the new owners are happy.

Its now worth over 300k on regtransfers makes me wanna throw up. Thats life eh....nevermind lol.
😂 yes it’s ridiculous but it’s nothing for wealthy people so no big deal. Is a Ferrari worth 25 million? Is a Van Gogh worth 20 million? Rich people like to have the best and show off and get richer.

I bought my beloved Alfasud Ti from a guy who worked for Reliant. I have no reason to disbelieve what he told me. First, they couldn’t shift them, so at Reliant they put Sierra dashboards in. Second, each one had to be exactly 200 miles. So it was his job to take them out on the Midlands motorway network late at night. Where apparently Traffic Police would give him a wave, and suggest he floor it! But third…he swore blind one hundred were shown in Essex, and then transported to the Midlands, for the same cars to be shown again. Legend has it there were not two hundred. So if someone did have a cosseted 5000 mile example, in theory, it’s worth more than the Sierra 😳

There are some mugs about. Who the hell thinks a ford Sierra cosworth is worth with fees around £560-£570 k??? Nobody with a Braincell would guaranteed! The guide price was £180k max which is still ridiculous for a working man's 90's car. This has got to have been a battle between Dubai sheikhs as Dubai was mentioned by people close to the camera. Thing is if this is the case then guaranteed this car is gonna be used for a little while then dumped to rot in a car park covered in sand as most cars are as they toss cars like litter over there.
If you have ever driven a Cossie then thats a comment you would never make. Roll back to 1987 and There was still Hillman Imps and Morris Marinas roaming the streets and along come Ford and say Fcuk it, lets go mental. The rest is history.
money talks if you have plenty spend it on over priced things your choice I think the low mileage was a winner for this classic car or was it he/she has more money than sense?🙄
Took it out span the wheels and spat it into a tree? Or did they rip it all out, roll cage it, slap some numbers on and go TOCA in it? No. I’m all for keeping things from the past but don’t wrap it in cotton wool and shove it in a box.

money talks if you have plenty spend it on over priced things your choice I think the low mileage was a winner for this classic car or was it he/she has more money than sense?🙄
Maybe. One sold by Silverstone less than 18 months ago for £103k and the forums thought it was mad. Looks quite reasonable now
Million pound car 10yrs time
Way overpriced as they are. The current owners played a blinder selling when they did.
No one’s mentioned that they’ve probably got 20 other cars too….- these people are not stupid.
hands down the worst auctioneer I've ever heard. Couldn't even keep up with the fresh bids, even though the going was slow !
Took it out span the wheels and spat it into a tree?
Or did they rip it all out, roll cage it, slap some numbers on and go TOCA in it? No.
I’m all for keeping things from the past but don’t wrap it in cotton wool and shove it in a box. Yes it’s an investment but a car like this is staring at you in your garage going “ just trash me round a track now and then pleeeease”
