    Apologies for digging up your 2010 post! Came across it while browsing through the thread yesterday and couldn't help noticing the abandoned Sierra; it seems identical to my father's (only photo I could find of it there is from 1996 I believe with myself as a toddler standing next to it) - I believe he sold it for scrap at the end of the 1990's. Thought I'd check the reg. number on the offchance that they were the same car but discovered my father's was actually an '88!

    Yes, now that you say it. It was the front lights which somehow reminded me of the 505 - I didn't notice the absence of the B pillar.

    doesn't that make the C pillar the B pillar then? I'm overthinking it....

    Someone please tell me thats not a genuine Cossie left to rot in a field? Carzone, cartell & motorcheck don't give the model on a basic check - just that its a 1993cc Sierra which is the same capacity as the Cosworth engine :eek::(

    One of the earlier of the species, fibre glass body, was running fine about 10 years ago.
