Will I ever get the Sierra MOT READY? Time's running out on my Ford Sapphire RS Cosworth Restoration
THE PLAN! When I bought this Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth from Scotland, driving all of the way back to Cornwall, my plan was to carry out a modest and fairly swift restoration - I wanted a tidy example with a more standard look and nice, clean power. I intend to own this car for lots of years, meaning I could improve my Sierra over time… fair to say things have not gone to plan!
With ZERO interior and lots to do, will I ever get the Sierra MOT ready let alone in time to drive my son to his prom? Follow the progress on my Sierra Cosworth build in this video.
It would be great to know your thoughts, feedback and questions in the comments section, and please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE to find out the end of the Sierra story and follow my other cars… I appreciate it.

    The route of that car is actually Birmingham, it was my Dad’s up until about some time in the mid-90s, I will see if I can find some photos. The colour is the same but the rear lights are different.

    That very Capri (same registration) was my late Dad’s back in the 1990s. He loved it but he had to sell it during hard times. He did always wonder what had happened to it and was gutted that he had to sell it, particularly because it was in decent condition at the time, but it was before it became a classic. But he would have been happy to know its found a home and is getting used.

    Mate, I don't think it's so cut and dry between the Injections and the Specials. They were adding what are considered Special parts to cars before the launch of the Special and with yours only being a few months away from launch, I wouldn't be surprised if it came with the colour coding and wheels. As far as I can tell there isn't much info out there so you'd have to find other examples of late cars like yours to figure it out. Mine is November '83 and it only has the 5 speed box so I can't help with info on the cosmetics but I feel your pain with the throttle cable! I've found that the new ones can still be a little bit sticky/jerky but if you find a good one then please let me know where you got it from because it can be really annoying in slow speed traffic! Good luck whatever you decide to do with it 👍

      Thanks for following the restoration of the Sierra, I am hoping this car has no more surprises for me! 😂 I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

    You need to fit the left hand dash pocket in while you can still get to the back of it as the clips are very difficult to get in The stereos can deteriate even when not in use my car had the CD option which worked perfectly when removed but now only gives poor sound when switched on for two hours Best of luck

      Thanks for the comment and advice. One of the glove compartment clips is actually broken - I have a replacement so will it soon. Thanks for watching. 👍

    Lovely job. Nice to see it going back to original. Will you be fitting a more original style/sized exhaust?

    • @cornishcarcollectors
      @cornishcarcollectors 13 днів тому

      Thanks for the comment, it is great to know you like the restoration. 👍 I will look to change the exhaust at some point in the future, albeit right now I am just focused on getting it on the road and using it during a few of the warmer months. The exhaust is likely to be a 2025 job. Thank you for watching.

    • @cornishcarcollectors
      @cornishcarcollectors 13 днів тому

      Thanks for the comment. Sounds like the car you are talking about went the way of so many Sierra Cosworths in the past. Certainly a shame. Thank you for watching.

    I've got a one owner Sportka Se with all the extras on an 04 plate with 60k on, well it was one owner till I transferred it from her name to mine when she left! Still runs like a dream! Not been used for 13years. Still on it original rear tyres which are split to death... Putting through MOT this Friday. With new tyres obviously.

    • @johnshaw8013
      @johnshaw8013 13 днів тому

      Can't wait to get on back on the road, cracking little town car, and a hoot to drive, just a shame it didn't have 30-40more bhp, it would have been a right little devil then!

    • @cornishcarcollectors
      @cornishcarcollectors 12 днів тому

      Thanks for the comment, I hope your SportKA goes through the MOT okay... with new tyres, as you say. I'll post another video on my SportKA over the next couple of weeks so please do stay tuned! Thanks for watching.

    Best wheels, worst color, exhaust tips wrong for the year. Otherwise, great car! - I have a 2006 XKR Victory Edition convertible in Jaguar Racing Green. Unfortunately, not the BBS wheels.

    • @cornishcarcollectors
      @cornishcarcollectors 12 днів тому

      Thanks for the comment and I agree these are the best wheels. Exhausts are a bit tacky, but I do disagree on the colour as I happen to this the XK looks good in red. If you like XKR Jaguars then please do stay tuned to the Channel as I've more to come over the next couple of months! Thanks for watching and keep enjoying your XKR.

    I just bought a 2007 X-type Sovereign 3.0 AWD and the road tax was £710 (£745 if paid monthly by direct debit)..!! I disagree with the bonnet motif though. To me they just look out of place on these smaller cars.

    It's great to see the capri on the road being used rather than locked away in some dusty garage. I could quite easily go back to a capri 40 years on my first decent car mk 1 in blue 👌👌
