Sierra 1992

- This film, intended for dealerships, shows the improvements made to a lightly face-lifted Mark III Ford Sierra towards the end of this model's life. The new version boasts such refinements as body-coloured bumpers and tinted glass as standard. The aim was for the car to "compete with the best the competition can offer". Only a year later the "jellymould" gave way to the Mondeo.

one of the best looking ford ever made
I wish cars were still like this. Simple, fun, hilarious marketing/adverts.
One of the best Ford ever made, rear wheel drive and manual transmission makes it amazing to drive
The final versions of the Sierra, especially with the clear or smoked lights, were actually smart looking cars. And by 1992, despite being a 10 year old design at its core, it didn’t look too outdated compared to its rivals.
These last of the line Belgian built Sierras look much tidier than the previous ones. Would love a 2000E myself!
March 1992 I drove a red Sierra GT out of the showroom. Awesome car, loved it!
You lucky bastard! My dream car at the time!
MrMayonEgg It was definitely a massive improvement on the 1600 LX I had before! And the performance? OMG! Blip the throttle at 70 mph and it would surge up to 130 effortlessly.
Miss those days, hardly any speed cameras, no smart motorways, no sat-navs affordable insurance and petrol at 50 p a litre. What happened??
March 1992 I was born
Ronald Reagan I was nearly 26 when I bought that car. I bought my semi-detached 3 bedroom house at 23, I went to the US on my holidays 6 times in 8 years.
I never went to university, left school with only 2 O levels.
I also bought another brand new car 16 months later and was still able to save £700 a month from my ‘average’ salary as it was then.
I doubt that today’s 25-year olds will ever be able to do those things.
And politicians call it progress?
I consider myself bloody lucky to be born when I was. I feel very sad for today’s young generation 😢
I was 19 when the ‘92 Sierras were released. Always lusted after a 4x4 Cosworth. Had to make do with a £100 ‘79 MK5 Cortina with holes in the floor.
This was the best Sierra yet, more space more comfort and more of everything you want.
Fun fact, appart from the color coded bumpers, the redesigned dash and the low profile tires, my old 91 GT Sapphire used to have all those "improvements" X)
Best car i ever owned with my old 1989 205 Roland Garros
I think there was a transition in '91. I had a '91 GLX which had all of the new exterior and new seats but with the older dash.
@@X-Typewoes Well you might be right. Also mine was a somewhat basic trim level (it had the new DOHC carburated engine, a sunroof, power steering and 5 alloys wheels, but no tach for some reason) wich would explain why it had plastic bumpers and no spoiler on the trunk.
Too bad no one is making car like this anymore. Basic, reliable, spacious, affordable RWD sedan that where a tons of fun to drive like an idiot and pretty confortable on long journeys.
Best Ford we ever owned, a 20i. Fast, nice shape, space, open roof, excellent steering and had all a car needed. They don't make such cars anymore with Ford.
This video makes me want one.. I had a ´90 with the 2,0 dohc engine and mt75 gearbox, but the older body and interior. Loved the grunt of the powertrain, but really wanted the facelifted GT version.
The Sapphire was a nice car with refinements and different engines. That Sapphire Cossie 4x4 1992 was gorgeous.
Sapphires always reminded of me of a mk1 Mondeo.
for 92 this is a great interior
(1992)
10 years passed since the very first Sierra promote called "Man and Machine in Perfect Harmony"
I would happily have one of these again !!!
The white sapphire in this clip is in a ford magazine I'm reading and it's a preproduction car as its got the grill less bonnet from the hatchback. I got a 2 year old white 5 door 1.8LX in 1991 virtually at the same time as my dad ordered his metallic black 2.0 XR4X4 5 door brand new from Hartfords ford in banbury. Both of them were great cars then, both very fondly remembered, love to have them both now despite sadly my elderly dad giving up driving.
I HAD a new J reg 1.8 LX sapphire white with red coach lines, was a lovely car
Yeah, this was good Sierra, but Sierra was good from at the beginning also. This new Sierra was in producing 1991-1993 february or something like that. It is interesting, it's like old 1982 Sierra in many things, but still not the same, many things are changed.
1983 year Ford Sierra was my first street car and i admire it still. It could be good hobby car, but i have enough money for second car. I had 6 Ford Sierras several 1983(2,0 and 2,3 gasoline, also ghia), one 1987, one 1989 both 2,3 diesels 49kw and one 1992 2,0 gasoline 85 kw GT.
Loved the Sierra, great looking, young lady also!
I can imagine how cool it was to have these features in the MK3. Especially with the Sierra's evergreen design, it never gets old. However they wanted us to forget, but there were several extras that the MK1 had, and they took away from it, when the Scorpio came out. And MK1&2 had that classical Sierra design. But they wanted to look as a brand new car, so they changed the dashboard, to a more rounded type. For me it doesn't really fit with the original car design. The Sierra was a pioneer, when it came out. It didn't look like a typical angular 80s car. It was angular, but every shape was rounded, not like the others. But if you compare it to a 90s car (for example: Mondeo), you can clearly see the differences. And they tried to make the Sierra look like a Mondeo, with that new dash, steering wheels, switches, etc. I admit, it might look as a fresh design when it came out, but today, after more than 20 years since the last model left the factory, I say: f*ck the plastic, keep the classic. Just look at an MK1 Ghia. With that older type of steering wheel, and the original dash. What a look! Every little detail were designed all together. The inside to the outside, and vice versa. Those chrome lines in the windows, and in the bumpers. I'm melting. But if you look at the MK3, the exterior still looks like an MK2, but the inside feels like it comes from an other car. And yeah, most of these extras (or even more, than in an MK3) were avaliable too, maybe for a bigger price, but it was up to you to buy it, or not. The only thing we really needed was the DOHC, a great engine. Everything else was there before.
How could they try to make the Sierra look like a Mondeo, the Sierra was the Mondeo's predecessor, they didn't sell them at the same time.
Best Car ever Build!
They were a GOOD car..I agree 100%..
However "Best Car ever Built" ..Not sure about that.
@@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206 since the question of the "best car" must be a subjective one, it can be. For me it is. It's up to you.
E39...
Quite incredible! Richer, smoother, more precise. Yeah!
I miss them days
The last Sierras were good looking cars.
Owned the last edition hatch, very impressive stylish for the early 90s
Man the guitar music sounds like "crash, bang, wallop. what a video" with Alan Partridge.
Bu araba dedemde vardı. Dedem Almanya'dan Turkiyeye bu araba ile geliyordu 1991 1992 yılında. Ben bu arabayı çok seviyorum. FORD SIERRA demek 90lar demek ❤❤❤
Ben 14 yıldır 91 GLS sahibiyim bu arabalar zamanının ötesinde bi tasarıma sahipti ben yıllardır hayranlık ile kullanıyorum ve 80 taşımada gelsem sierralar benim için en iyi arabalar olarak kalacaktır
"The rest is up to you" il wait a few months and get a Mondeo thanks! 😂
Actually body colored bumpers was a huge feature in 90's
Best car in the world
2:32 - Lower profile tyres and flat tyres are not the same thing. Pump it up. I love Sierras.
Lovely cars
Ford Sierra... 👍👍
Great car
A beautiful Beautiful Car ❤️😍
Ford Sierra cars are honestly very good 👍 cars 🚘. 😄
And in 1993,the Mondeo was introduced,Ford wasted money on new styling of a discontinued model
Old one - digital clock, new one - mechanical clock... yeah
Hammerheinz mechanical clock was to the Time so cool then this was new 😀😀
I had the sapphire 1.8 l and a 1989 Sierra LX burgundy red with tinted glass
My dad had one back in 1972.
Ohh it was me back in 1992
1992❤❤❤🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

I loved this car. I habe Bad a 2.0 is n mitgniht blue
Give me the 4x4 Cosworth version, please.
Costs only 20k
What was the point in the redesign the mondeo came out in very late K reg.
The redesign came already late 1990 as MY 91
the resign came already late 1989. Ford Sierra was definitely outdated 1992 but I must admit that the car looks good.
Alright I'm sold. Where do I buy one? I'm in the 'States.
Well look for a Merkur XR4TI or import one from continental europe (look in Belgium or Germany) since it's more than 25 years old you can import one
I had a h reg 1.8 lx 5dr hatchback it was brilliant I had it for 7 years and put a 100000 miles on it from new when I sold it on it was still running like a new car and the body was still good when I seen it a few years ago I couldt believe how bad it looked
this was about the 1990 update not 92, regardless it was extremley dated by then.
Imagine if today's technology was available back in 92! lol
noooo its good like it is No ASR no electric shit
seems like a waste of time when the Mondeo was due to be released a year later
Escort sedã aca en Brazil?
This car entered Iraq after 2003. And she liked to rust so much.
They are comparing the newer one to a CL. Of course the newer looks better :D
EB Falcon in a more chuckable size - a v8.
سلام عليكم اني من العراق اريد اشتري قطع غيار عندي فوره سيراموديل91
1:25
Sorry as much as i like fords it was game over for the sierra when vauxhall launched the mk3 cavalier
Show me a modern car like this, with 181Nm torque and the same power on the road. No chance! Hahaa... .
ok whats the point in the redesign when the awsome mondeo replaced it a year later?
DISLIKE DISLIKE I think this might be 91 and not 92, I'm sure I reg ones looked like this.
@@benday1218 I believe the facelifted (white indicator lens) models appeared in the 1990-91 model year, so H reg onwards. The last Sierra rolled off the line in December 1992, but showrooms were still registering them until 1995! There are M plate Sierras around, but I think they'd all been sold by August 1995, so no 'N' platers.
@@tjfSIM Yeah the facelift was 1990
It allowed Ford to clean stock of cars and parts in storage. Mondeo was difficult to get but was miles ahead in build quality and drive.
I wish to God Ford cars were like that now i can't stand the ones now
Principially nothing changed since 1992 in car industry the same class. Even worse...Smaller engines, worse diesels. Such a precise gearbox how the advertisment says - now we are not able to find normal manual gearbox. Can you imagine? 30 years it is 1/3 of century and technologies became worse...
That was the worst car ever made, no sorry the xr3 was even worse, the previous Ford's were excellent cars, Cortina and Escort alike.
rust buckets
The early models were yeah, but the later ones were much better.
@gixeff 750 Maybe you should not buy with the weakest engine in the supply then.
Not much of a car, I would say. Very plain. And rear-wheel-drive on top of that.....
Rwd is only a good thing
And it has simple but nice styling or atleast i think so
