SUMMARY
On offer from a significant private Collection, this low-mileage, original car has been the proud resident of some serious Collections of notable Fords.
DESCRIPTION
On offer here is a very special, UK-supplied, right-hand drive example presenting in wonderfully original condition and was showing just 13,985 on the odometer at the time of cataloguing. Finished in black with a grey cloth interior, the V5C details four former keepers and the car was formerly a resident of the renowned Bonkers Collection of low-mileage performance Fords.
The Sierra is accompanied by its original owner’s manuals, maintenance invoices, stamped service booklet, an original sales brochure, a selection of magazines, an original first aid kit and an additional set of four genuine alloy wheels fitted with period correct Dunlop D40 tyres (for concours display only). Pleasingly, the seller is including the appropriate number plate, E500 YBD, in the sale.
Cotswold Prestige carried out a lot of the maintenance work in recent years and we encourage and welcome all interested parties to go through the history file at our Documents Desk at the auction and see how much has been invested in this fabulous RS500 to keep it in the condition it’s in today.
On offer from a significant private Collection, this low-mileage, original car has been the proud resident of some serious Collections of notable Fords. Trying to find classics like E500 YBD is getting much harder, let alone examples as rare and as sought after as an RS500. What an opportunity this is, for a car that is considered the ‘high-water mark’ in Ford’s enviable back-catalogue.
