If i had started building a Locost when i 1st got the book and managed to get hold of a Mk1/2 escort as a donor, i'd be kicking myself.

Certanly agree with that.
I definitely regret butchering some of the now classic cars that I have owned over the years.

Would like to think that some of the better Sierras will escape untouched ( Folk are a lot more savy these days )

Back to the original poster.

My advice, if you are set on going the Sierra route, bide your time as one will come along when you least expect it & at a price you are happy with.

Currently 3 Sierras in my drive.

Juniors daily driver.



Genuine one owner car & absolutely rot free, paid quite good money for that one.

Then there's these 2



The Red Sapphire was bought a couple of months back.
Came up localy on ebay, long mot & short tax, paid £325.
2 litre DOHC Ghia with automatic gearbox. Possibly too good to break ( Not been underneath it yet )

The Blue Sapphire was rescued from a field a couple of weeks ago, paid just short of scrap value for it.
2 litre DOHC fitted with a manual MT75 gearbox ( Definitley pulling that one apart )

Found another 2 litre Sierra in my local scrayard last week.
Fully intact other than the rear brake calipers, now missing some other parts because I had them.

As Bob says, they are still about if you are prepared to play the waitng game.
