This dramatic 1996 Ford Sierra Cosworth racing car was prepared by highly reputable Essex specialists Geoff Page Racing. It was built in 1998 at, the vendor says, a cost of £90,000. It was then raced until 2003, and stored until 2019. It subsequently had a full strip-down and refurbishment, while the engine was rebuilt in 2021, before it was given an engine refresh in 2023. The vendor says it was run on the dyno for 30 minutes without boost, then with 1.5 bar boost; on four runs, it made a remarkable 530hp. “Engine run time since the refresh is about 70 minutes.” The vendor reports it is a car that’s had no expense spared on it, and comes with a set of wheels complete with a new set of slicks. There’s also a plentiful supply of spares “and all the fibreglass moulds from when it was built, along with some spare body parts”.
The Ford Sierra replaced the Ford Cortina in 1982 and was a model genuinely ahead of its time. The model developed throughout the 1980s, with this four-door Ford Sierra Sapphire saloon joining the original hatchback in 1987. The Ford Sierra quickly found success both on the racetrack and the rally course, and this prowess continued into the 1990s, with enterprising specialists such as Geoff Page Racing developing extreme race-ready versions such as this to compete in series such as the Classic Sports Car Club championship. This is a unique racing car that is sure to cause a stir in historic racing series everywhere.
