Dreiviertel-Vorderansicht eines 1985er Ford Sierra Cosworth „Group N“ Rallye-Autos, das auf dem Silverstone Festival 2023 in der legendären Auktion verkauft wird
Ex-Gwyndaf Evans and Bertie Fisher, probably the most successful 'Group N' Sierra Cosworth in British rallying history. Offered here is what must be the most successful 'Group N' Sierra Cosworth in British rallying history. C234 HVM is a Ford Works registration number, as ten of the early Sierra Cosworths were used to launch the car to the World's press. These ex-press cars were then converted at Ford's Competition Department at Boreham, and seven of them were assigned to the 1986 Securicor Sierra Challenge rally series. C234 HVM went to Ford dealer, Peacocks, to be driven by Chris Mellors who took it to second overall in the Championship in 1986. This car then had many category wins between 1986 and 1988. It took part in The Lombard RAC Rally in 1987 and 1988, driven by Gwyndaf Evans, and in 1988 he went on to win the Shell Oils British Rally Championship (GPN). It also contested the 1987 Manx International Rally driven by Bertie Fisher. This important piece of the British 1980s 'Group N' rally scene is on the button and beautifully finished in its 1988 Ulster Rally livery. Prior to our vendor's purchase in 2013, the Sierra had been checked over by BGM Sport who reported that all the compressions are correct and that the car is 'rally-ready' with an impressive 291bhp on tap.

The belts and extinguisher are out of date but that would be a small investment considering the historical importance of this car. It's supplied with a comprehensive history file containing important period
