Further info:

Purpose built 2wd Sierra Sapphire Cosworth race car (never road registered), originally built by Brodie Brittain Racing (believed for the 1988 24hr Willhire) with a lightened Ford motorsport shell with custom T45 roll cage this car has the following specification:

Fibre glass bonnet, boot and rear wing, polycarbonate windows, lightweight dash, plumbed in fire extinguisher, quick fill bag tank with refuelling rig, hydraulic handbrake, Toyo R888 tyres on Enkei alloy wheels, Aeroquip lines, AP racing front callipers with 330 mm front discs, RS rear discs, rose jointed front suspension, larger intercooler, 3 bar map sensor, light blue injectors, up-rated turbo (believed T34 hybrid), up-rated actuator, large bore stainless race exhaust system and big-winged sump. No power figures are guaranteed but as an indication the last power run was in 2010; the rolling road used had a physical limit of 270bhp at the wheels (considered 330+bhp at the flywheel) and this limit was reached at 5329rpm which is expected to be significantly before the car's maximum rev/power capability. A print out of this is available in the history file.

The RS received a full engine rebuild in 2008 by ex AVO engineer at Stancombe Vehicle Engineering, and a gearbox overhaul in 2010 with little use since. The transmission also comprises a race clutch with GGR pedal assembly and adjustable cable, a 3.9 final drive with a professionally fitted Gripper limited slip diff and heavy-duty drive shafts.

In 2011 the interior was updated with a new Cobra competition seat, steering wheel and TRS competition harness which is in date into 2016. In 2012 the suspension received attention in the form of new professionally fitted Gaz adjustable platform coil-overs along with a full geometry set up.

Included in the sale are two sets of spare wheels. The first set are Enkie with two serviceable super-soft Avon slicks and the other set are believed to be OZ's with worn wets. Weighing approximately 1080kg the Sierra is also fitted with a Micro dynamics rev limiter and shift light with launch control capability, an electronic boost controller, and has an MSA compliant transponder. Many thousands have been spent and the car is offered with a collection of invoices in the history file. The car also has a current MSA log book.

Predominantly used as a circuit race car in events such as Formula Saloons, Classic Modified Saloons, CSCC Future Classics, JEC Sports/Saloons and adaptable for many more it is advised that prospective purchasers check current race series/regulations. Although primarily a circuit race car it was used in Sprint/Hillclimbs in 2013 with the vendor winning the L&CCC Speed championship outright.
 

All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
