EXTERIOR Finished in original Ford Crystal Blue, (Code U7), this colour being one of the rarest having been in production only from initial launch to August 1988, (Eight months). The paintwork boasts a deep shine and polished uniform finish with a few careful owner touch-ups. All factory panels are pin straight with linear gaps and manufacturer stamps can be seen. The exterior trim is excellent and features such as Anthracite fog lamp surrounds denote an early 2WD example. One corner of the front splitter is slightly misshapen, a common occurrence. The glass displays the number and dots dated Securit etchings, and factory Carello headlamps remain fitted with other lenses showing Ford logo and ‘England’ lettering. A highly collectable early example rarely seen in Ford Crystal Blue. INTERIOR The factory standard interior of this truly special example is trimmed in the original Halley and Angora grey velour, (Code L). This trim arrangement being another denotation of the early 2WD production Sapphire Cosworths. Protected by fitted seat covers, the supportive Recaro front seats are superb with firm bolsters and tight coverings. A tiny repair mark to the passenger seat base is just visible. The instantly familiar driver inclined dashboard is perfect and completely free from any cracks, and the three spoke leather trimmed sports steering wheel and leather gear knob show little wear. All functions and controls operate including the standard Sound ECU2 stereo system with power amplifier. A fantastic RS interior. ENGINE & TRANSMISSION Fitted with the standard 1993cc Dual Over Head Cam (DOHC) engine with the Garrett AiResearch T.03B turbocharger and intercooler, the racing pedigree of this car is truly evident with performance figures quoted of 204bhp, 150mph top speed and 0-60 in just 6.1 seconds. The engine bay will fascinate originality seekers with factory panel stampings on the inner wings, front slam panel and bonnet underside. All stickers and plates remain intact including the service stickers on the intercooler and PDI dots, long since lost on most examples. The tough T5 manual transmission with 7.5 limited slip differential is direct and precise. WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES The factory fitted 15 X 7 RS Sierra Cosworth ‘Lattice Style’ alloy w
