Ford Sierra XR4i 4x4. Utterly Original/ Show Car
At the 1985 Geneva Motor Show, the four-wheel drive Sierra XR4x4 was launched. It had two viscous differentials with two thirds of the power directed towards the rear wheels thus retaining the car's rear-wheel drive characteristics while taking handling to a level similar to that of the Audi Quattro. The 5 door Series 2 was introduced in 1987 with a slightly larger 2. 9 V6 delivering 150BHP giving a top speed of 125mph
Our ex-Ford registered demonstrator (OO Ford Essex registration) was purchased from Ford by the second keeper, Mr Lewry in 1989 and he retained the Sierra for the next 26 years. The car was meticulously maintained by him and covered just over 60k miles before being put into storage in 1999. Purchased by the third owner in 2014 the car was recommissioned with new clutch, fuel pump/ tank, stainless exhaust, battery, brakes and a full service
Today XR4i is utterly original down to the original Ford radio/ cassette and is in time warp condition. It comes with original information pack, service book with 12 stamps, invoices and old MOTs backing up warranted mileage of 70k – a truly exceptional survivor with rust free body/ excellent mechanics.
Milestones have sold this superb example twice in the last three years – we love buying our cars back as we know they are good.
The under-rated XR4i is an immensely entertaining driving machine that will give huge pleasure and provide an excellent investment to the next lucky owner.
