The number plate may be worth a couple of quid to the right person when you come to strip it
Damn you Dave you beat me too it. |

Nice - similar to mine. It does seem almost criminal to break them - I bought mine from a couple who'd been using it as a daily driver and loved it. Felt terrible when they asked why I wanted it
I'm definitely going with the CVH to get the car on the road with and who knows from then! |

Bargain.
It is a real shame to donor an almost classic Ford but needs must & all that. The guy who sold me number 2 donor thought I was going to put it back on the road. He was devestated when my sadistic eldest son, sent him pictures of the car. Cut into about 8 pieces & piled up in my drive ready to load on the Tranny.

i've been wondering - should I really rip an almost perfect car to bits (considering its age), or should I restore it and then sell it as a classic in 10 years time? I've been looking for a donor for a good while, and they've all been much more expensive and in worse condition than this one - so I know how good a bargain I've managed to pick up. never considered the reg plate as a spare! Cheers guys! One guy has already bought the front seats, and a few others are interested in doorcards, wings etc... Do doors, bonnets and boots sell well if they're in good nick? Thanks for all the feedback

I wouldnt have any regrets braking a sierra.
I had a sierra saphire 2.0 dohc is good condition, Horrible car, imo take the useful bits and build it into something decent... They aint ever going to be a mk1 or 2 escort, bit like the austin maxi, it old enough to be a classic but no one really gives a ***t |

That was about 10 years after my mate took his Lotus Mk1 Cortina to the scrapyard. Hindsight is great but not much use after the event. The Sierra panels may be worth selling if you can find a local buyer, still quite a few on the road.
