sti-04!!

I am looking to fill my garage with a couple of old school Xr / Rs's & i quite fancy another one of these old school bad boys, having owning one about 10 yrs ago.
Seems i might be looking in the wrong places so if anyone knows of one up for sale please add it to this thread please.

Preferably in red.

Cheers

Try passionford for a start, i recon that are all dead except a few minters kept by enthusiasts.

The tinworm loved the sierra bodywork!

Believe it or not a red one drove past me yesterday in red with a For Sale sign in the window. H plate, advertised as family owned from new. The reason it caught my eye was "Haven't seen one of those for a while" together with "Tidy". If I see it again I'll get a number. Bob

There are a few on PH, even a red one.

I seem to remember that the Turbo Technics test car was nicked and it kept appearing, whenever it did the Police could not catch it, back in the late 80's!

My old man had a Mk2 Mercury Grey one. 2.8 version.

Nice cars at the time.

My brother has got a 2.9 XR4x4 that has been stored for the last eight years waiting for him to restore it. It is in fairly good condition body wise and he has just put a new enigine in it. if you are interested in it I could give him your details. it is up to you?. He is located in Kent.

when i saw your thread I thought I might have it!hahahahha. Wife said NO!

sti-04!!

Those are Mk2's. Not a single Mk1 on there.

HankScorpio

Ah, I was just general browsing.

Would F reg not be mk1?

Ford : Gleaming White XR4x4
Ford : Ford sierra Xr4x4 2.9V6

sti-04!!

No the Mk1 has the headlights set into the panel & are 2.8's.

Thanks for the help though

HankScorpio

Gotcha.

How long were the Mk1s around for?
I had a mate with one that turned out to be stolen and they took it off him. He was the one that always had the best cars - Escort 1.6 Ghia, Mk1 Astra GTE, Mk2 GTE, xr4x4.... It was the late 80s/early 90s and any young guy with these was seriously cool.

I only went in one once. We were up in Hartlepool for a weekend on the pi$$, back in the early 1990's. It had snowed quite a lot up there and this guy took us to the Tall Trees nightclub in Yarm (Wimbledon FC were up there for a called-off game against Middlesboro) in his XR4x4i. He entertained us all with his 4 wheel drive doughnuts in the snow-covered car-park! Kids eh?

I am not to sure, the one i had years ago was a B reg if i can remember correctly. The front diff was goosed on it, i repaired it, got it detailed as such & sold it on for a bit extra.
I reckon maybe from b to d reg, so not much to go on.
The search continues, i'll even take one that needs some tlc, engine overhaul, rough around the edges or concourse. I plan on buying a couple fo fords from that time.
RS Turbo S1 & S2. Xr4x4 Mk1 & whatever else takes my fancy, it'll probably take me a while to get the right cars though but i suppose something has to give

I had two later cars in the early 90's.

Both were 2.9's which was a far better engine with a much wider spread of torque.

The 2nd one I had was actualy a GLS 2.9V6 4X4. It looked like a GLS from the outside and with the grey bumbers and wheel trims but had the XR's running gear. They were the car of choice for caravanners at the time.
The one I had was a 1990 G Plate with the smoked rear lights and was fitted with the 235bhp Turbo technics conversion.
I seriously used to embarrass some nice motors at the lights, the look on their faces was priceless as they assumed they were next to 2.0 GLS.

Not in the same league but I currently run a 2007 Mondeo GhiaX which could easily be a 2.0, instead it has the 3.0V6 engine and 6 speed box from the ST220 under the bonnet. Catches one or two out that's for sure.

That brings back memories, my brother used to have a black mk1 4x4, I think he got it when it was about 2 and a hald yrs old, it had the turbo technics conversion running a T2 married onto a T4 ( I think) running about 310bhp, it also had a 4i rear spoiler, cossy skirts, bonnet and grill, 5 spoke RS alloys and the 3 spoke RS steering wheel, he always had a gearbox sitting waiting to go into it...lol . After about 9 years and thousands of pounds spent on it he eventualy sold it for £600 back in 97 / 98

Have looked at these a few times over the years.

There was the Mk1 2.8i, Mk2 2.9i then Mk3 2.0i iirc. I couldn't find one at the right price when I was looking and ended up with an '89 2.0 GLS.

Chopped that in for a Scorpio 4x4 which was a fantastic car. Uprated the suspension & then it could handle as well

falkster

Would it not have been a 2.9??

I know there was a cross over....some none facelifted models with 2.9s but never seen a facelift with 2.8.

Never heard them called Mks before either. They were all sierras and the 88Es saw a facelift adjusting front and rear lights plus a few other bits but not enough to call it a Mk change.

falkster

The original Sierra came out on a Y plate but you'll struggle to see 4x4s before a D although C plates were made!

one of my mates has an immaculate one... rare as hens teeth...

falkster

Especially if they have the coils still intact!!

stilover

Yeah, his was deffo a 2.8. Must have been just at the facelift then. I remember after he got it, the 2.9 came out. But can't remember what time frame that was after he go his.

My mate had a lime green one of these was an awsome car, apart from the coils, the times he had to fork out for them to be changed.
