i remember back in the mid to late 90's when you could pick any cossie up cheap. they're starting to go for silly money now. trouble is you need to find a good one which is getting hard. but yours looks like a cracker mate. scooby and a cossie, nice to have both on the drive.

My last Cossy was a 18000 mile white 3 Door that cost me £12750
The wife went mad when I spent that on a 20 year old car

It was an ex concours and too good to use so sold it and modded this one with the engine out of my race car

Easy to tune, can stick good suspension on them, but the Original Jelly Mould shell, needs a bloody good cage in them to keep the wheels where they should be under stressful driving

A Sierra Cosworth used to be my dream car when I was a young adult ie 20 years ago! By the time I could afford one I'd moved on to something else (Scoobs ). It's a shame that I never got one in the end as they were/are awesome cars. One like yours would have been the icing on the cake. Well played fella

Thanks Terminator X

I have had (at last count) 26, broke most of them as there is far more money when they are in pieces. Plus a few were bought for spares for the race car
