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 is what I said 25 years ago when I ripped out the engine out of a Ford Capri Exec. 3 litre Essex V6 jobby.

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.

I still wouldn't worry about it.
We're not talking about anything special with a basic sierra.

Capri V6 interesting car, fast and fun would always end up around the classic status, not worth mega buck though.
Lotus cortina, should have spotted that one in retrospect.

Sierra has no enduring features to make it a classic, if it had it would already be there alongside the mk2 golf gti or the pug 205, even the 4x4 (yes fabby) has faded alongside the xr4i, as they weren't that great in the first place.

Bog standard boring rep mobiles will never be worth much or highly desire xexcept by an elite group of "special" people. An older BMW 535 would be the exception.

Anyone would think I hate sierras and fords in general .... good job they made some useful parts. lol

Well me old fruit I got classic insurance on my xr4i due to the "xr" badge...
