One of 56 White Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth's with an incredible 13. 77 miles

MODEL HISTORY
Five hundred extra special examples of the 150 mph Ford Sierra RS Cosworth went on sale in Britain on August 1st 1987. This more powerful ‘evolution' model was introduced to allow Ford to develop the original limited production run of 5. 00 needed to allow the car to be homologated for International Touring Car Racing in Group A. Aston Martin at Tickford were assigned with converting the 500 cars and in addition to the more powerful 224 bhp engine. (with the potential to exceed 400 bhp in race trim). numerous aerodynamic features were incorporated in the bodywork. These include a 30mm lip spoiler applied directly to the rear edge of the tailgate to increase rear downforce. New and larger cooling ducts were included in the design of the front bumper for the intercooler and the front brakes. as well as an aerodynamic splitter. The vehicle was only available through 90 specialist Ford RS (Rally-Sport) dealers in Britain at a cost of £19. 50. (Source Ford News Release 87/76).

EXTERIOR
The commanding exterior of this RS Cosworth is breath-taking and nothing short of simply magnificent. Finished in rare Ford White the paintwork boasts a deep gloss shine from the original. unrestored factory finish. All exterior trim. glass and lights remain free from damage as does the vulnerable front splitter. The unique silver coachline and RS500 badges applied to the front wings and tailgate are still present. The engine bay is incredible in its originality and condition. and boasts all the correct engine and chassis identification numbers. The original dealer fitted number plates are supplied the car and the supplying Ford dealer rear window sticker is still present. A truly incredible car in an astonishing preserved condition.

INTERIOR
The interior of this RS500 is simply beautiful. Finished in Ford Roma Grey (code S2). the Recaro seats and carpeted door trim are in remarkable condition with no wear or discolouration and completely commensurate with a very low mileage example. The driver's seat bolster still has a soft velvet feel and the carpets are spotless and having been protected by carpet mats. The interior equipment and trim is original and free from any modification or additions. All dials and gauges operate perfectly and show healthy readings. The dashboard is immaculate having suffered no cracks or discolouration. The first aid kit is still in its protective film and the supplying dealers tax disc holder attached to the front screen. The boot is factory fresh and has two front fog lights as given by the Ford dealer. A fantastic 1980's interior. the embodiment of driving pleasure and excitement.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The Cosworth YBD-Series 2. 0 litre. 16 valve twin overhead camshaft. four cylinder. fuel injected. turbocharged and intercooled engine which in road use. (as per this example). is tuned to develop 224 bhp.

Expect 0-60 in 6. 2 seconds and a top speed of 153mph. The gear changes are crisp and tight.

WHEELS. TYRES & BRAKES
