1983 Ford Sierra xr4i For Sale

Up for sale is my 1983 Ford Sierra XR4i in its original colour of diamond white. The interior is the rare Oxford blue dash, seats and trim. I believe they only fitted this interior to the sierra up until December 1984. It also has the twin button steering wheel which you dont see many of.
The car has undergone a full, back to bare shell restoration, completed by myself, a full time classic car restorer. The car was generally in a very good condition when I obtained it, with only some minor rust issues in the usual places, i. e. around fuel filler, boot behind back wheels and the odd bit of pinholing in the floor. All of which have been rectified by the problem area been cut back to good steel, and new steel welded in. The body work is incredibly straight with not a single dent or ripple to be seen anywhere, and all panel gaps are excellent. The car has been finished in a 2k basecoat and laquer. Using the best quality Glasurit High Gloss laquer, to give it an incredible shine. In direct sun its almost to bright to look at.
As you can see in the pictures the underneath and mechanicals of the car have all undergone the same renew and/ or restoration treatment as the rest of the car. They have all been sand blasted, epoxy primed, and painted with 2k satin black. The engine has been rebuilt by my local engine building company. The engine wasnt seized when I obtained the car, but for peace of mind I had it rebuilt. It got new piston rings, shell bearings and a hone. I found some reciepts with the car from 1993, which suggest the engine was fitted with a fast road cam, which is still installed. The Bosch K-jetronic fuel injection system has been completely overhauled and renewed. Which makes car start at first touch of the key, even after being left stood for a couple of weeks. The gearbox feels as new, with no slop or vagueness in the gear changes. The starter motor and alternator are new, as are all the wheel bearings, clutch and seals etc. The braking system is all new, with drilled and grooved discs on the front, and a rear disc brake conversion fitted to the rear. I have fitted a 35mm lowering kit to the Sierra, which in my opinion gives it a better look, but not too over the top. The alloy wheels are geniune Ford 15 inch ones, but not original to the car. The car came with the same style of wheel but in the 14 inch version. (Which can be included in the sale if the new buyer wishes)
The clock is showing 27000 miles, which i can prove down back to 1991, but i cant 100% say its not 127000 miles. Going off how the gearbox feels when you drive it, and the little wear and tear on the interior (which is all completely original and untouched) it very well could be a 27000 mile car. The car had been off the road since about 1995, going off what receipts I found in the car itself. Then it was dry stored up until I bought it.
As I mentioned before, the interior is all original. The only bits that let it down is a cigarette burn on the passenger seat, and some age related discolouration on the inner sill plastic. The dash has a couple of small cracks in it, but hardly noticeable until pointed out. I have also fitted a period ford radio cassette player, which works great, but to bring the sound system into the 21st century, i have fitted a bluetooth amplifier, which also has an auxillary input, so you're not limited to just tapes and radio stations.

If you have any questions, or if theres something ive missed, please dont hesitate to get in touch. the details below These are a very rare car nowadays, you dont see many on the road, and especially not restored to this standard. Thanks for looking, Andy
