The standard Sierra with its advanced aerodynamic shape, lightweight construction and well-balanced chassis offered an ideal starting point for what would become one of the most significant homologation specials of its generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFord’s partnership with Cosworth transformed the relatively conventional Sierra into something altogether more purposeful. At the heart of the project was a heavily developed 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, equipped with turbocharging and engineered to provide the performance potential required for Group A motorsport. Combined with its distinctive aerodynamic bodywork and unmistakable rear wing, the resulting Sierra RS Cosworth delivered a rare combination of road-going usability, visual presence and genuine competition pedigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt as a limited-production homologation model, the three-door Sierra RS Cosworth quickly established itself as far more than simply a fast Ford. It became an icon of the 1980s performance era, with its success on the circuit and enduring reputation ensuring its position amongst the most desirable modern classic performance cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction was undertaken at Ford’s Genk facility in Belgium, with the model entering production in 1986 and continuing into early 1987. Today, the original three-door Sierra RS Cosworth represents a particularly important chapter in Ford’s performance history, appealing not only to dedicated RS enthusiasts but also to discerning collectors and buyers seeking a genuinely iconic motor car with motorsport provenance, lasting investment appeal and an unmistakable presence that remains as impressive today as it was when new\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEXTERNAL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in the highly desirable Ford Moonstone Blue (Paint Code 6) this Sierra RS Cosworth presents with the kind of appearance expected from a carefully preserved example. The finish retains an excellent depth of colour and gloss across the bodywork giving the car a particularly striking presence while remaining true to the understated yet purposeful character of this iconic RS model. The panels sit neatly and consistently throughout, with well-defined shut lines that further reflect the quality of the car's presentation and the care it has received over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unmistakable RS Cosworth front end remains a defining feature. Its deep, aerodynamic bumper incorporates the large air intakes required to supply cooling air to the radiator and braking system, while the sculpted front panel and vented bonnet serve an important functional purpose in managing airflow through the engine bay and intercooler. Together, these features give the Sierra its unmistakable competition-inspired appearance and immediately set it apart from a conventional production model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving along the sides, the extended wheel arches and aerodynamic sill extensions provide the muscular stance for which the three-door RS Cosworth has become so renowned. The colour-coded door mirrors and exterior trim complement the Moonstone Blue finish beautifully, while the dramatic rear aerodynamic spoiler remains the centrepiece of the car's profile. Affectionately known as the 'whale-tail', it is one of the most recognisable design features of any 1980s performance car and remains synonymous with the Sierra RS Cosworth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighting and glazing are equally well presented, with the Cibie headlamp lenses remaining clear and free from any significant signs of deterioration, complemented by clean and well-preserved rear lamp clusters. Factory glazing is retained throughout, including the windscreen, side windows and rear screen, with the correct period markings providing an important detail for collectors who value originality and authenticity. The surrounding window and door seals also remain in excellent order, contributing to the overall quality of presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condition extends beneath the car, where the underside remains notably clean and well preserved. This is an important aspect of any desirable RS Cosworth and further enhances the appeal of an example that has clearly benefited from careful ownership and conscientious preservation. From its distinctive Moonstone Blue bodywork to its purposeful aerodynamic styling and impressive overall condition, this Sierra RS Cosworth presents as a particularly attractive example of one of Ford's most celebrated performance icons, offering strong appeal to both the serious collector and the discerning enthusiast seeking a genuinely iconic motor car\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eINTERNAL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior of this Sierra RS Cosworth is a particularly compelling aspect of the car and immediately reflects the exceptionally low mileage of just over 13,300 miles from new. Stepping into the cabin, there is a genuine sense of originality and preservation that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in examples of this age, making it especially appealing to the discerning collector or enthusiast who values condition, authenticity and provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory Recaro sports seats are trimmed in the correct Ford Roma Grey cloth and remain in excellent condition throughout. The upholstery is well preserved, with the supportive bolsters retaining their original shape and providing the purposeful, enveloping driving position for which these cars are renowned. The rear seating appears to have seen very little use and presents equally well, complementing the outstanding condition of the front seats and reinforcing the impression of a car that has been carefully cherished from new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original grey luxury-pile carpeting remains exceptionally well presented throughout the cabin, while the matching door cards, complete with their integrated armrests, remain clean, well preserved and true to the car's original factory specification. Together, these details create an interior that retains the distinctive character and atmosphere of an RS Cosworth exactly as it was intended to be experienced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf particular note is the condition of the dashboard. Remaining entirely free from cracks, the fascia presents exceptionally well and has avoided the deterioration often associated with cars of this era. The original switchgear and controls remain neatly preserved, further enhancing the authenticity of the cockpit. The factory LCD warning display is also retained, monitoring functions including bulb failures and open doors, with the relevant warning indicators operating as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specification remains impressively comprehensive and includes electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, tinted glass, a tailgate wash\/wipe facility and laminated windscreen. The extended centre console incorporates the original cigar lighter and quartz digital clock, while the fascia illumination dimmer, leather-trimmed gear lever and three-spoke leather sports steering wheel all contribute to the unmistakable period character of the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe driver's environment is completed by a clear and purposeful instrument binnacle incorporating the tachometer, turbo boost gauge and trip recorder, placing all of the essential information directly within the driver's view. Further equipment includes a three-speed heater fan, electrically operated front windows, split-folding rear seats and the desirable factory tilt-and-slide glass sunroof, all adding to the usability and comfort of the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior remains a remarkably well-preserved environment and provides a fitting reflection of the car's exceptionally low mileage. With just over 13300 miles displayed from new, its original Recaro seating, uncracked dashboard and carefully retained factory features, this is the type of RS Cosworth interior that will hold particular appeal for collectors seeking an example that has retained the character, originality and atmosphere of a genuinely cherished, low-mileage motor car\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eENGINE \u0026amp; TRANSMISSION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original RS Cosworth power plant warrants little introduction.
