EXTERIOR
The commanding exterior of this RS Cosworth is breath-taking and nothing short of simply magnificent. Finished in Diamond White (code B3). the paintwork boasts a deep gloss shine thanks to its pampered show winning past and commensurate with an example of such amazing low mileage. All exterior trim is in excellent order as is the glass. lights and badges but some minute stress fractures to the rear spoiler fixing points can be seen. The underside of this fabulous car is detailed perfection but not completely original with some components remaining chrome plated from its show winning past. The engine bay is spotlessly clean and the once spectacle of modified class winning exhibiting has largely been reversed to replicate a now standard look. Breathtaking in every sense and a real crowd pleaser.

INTERIOR
The interior of this RS Cosworth is pristine. Finished in Ford Roma Grey (code S2). the Recaro seats and door trim are superb. The carpets are spotless and are free from wear having been protected by Ford floor mats. Seat and steering wheel covers have also been used. All interior equipment and trim is original. functional and free from any modification or additions other than a period immobiliser. The dashboard is immaculate having suffered no cracks. discolouration or distortion. The standard electronic sound system with power amplifier remains as Ford intended and the LCD display to warn of bulb failure and open doors operates perfectly with all lamp elements working. An absolute showpiece.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Recent works to the original RS Cosworth powerplant are documented and an extensive refurbishment process to restore originality is largely complete. Finishing items such as some factory stickers. a turbo heat shield and fusebox black material cover are required. There are also some minor clips and fixings chrome plated. Performance from the 204HP 2. 0 Dual Over Head Cam with Garrett AiResearch T3 turbocharger is impressive with 0-60 in 6. 2 seconds and a top speed of 149mph quoted. The low mileage is clearly evident when changing through the gears with crisp. tight and precise progression up and down the range. An absolute delight.

WHEELS. TYRES & BRAKES
The standard 15 X 7 inch RS Sierra Cosworth alloy wheels are shod with Goodyear Eagle 205/50 R15 tyres all round. with excellent tread remaining. The boot mounted spare houses an unused factory issued Dunlop D40. Diagonally split hydraulic circuits. anti-lock braking assisted 28. 3cm ventilated Tarox 40 groove discs up front and 27. 3cm discs at the rear bring the car to a sure and steady halt.
