Default 'Lost' Sierra Cosworth RS500 up for auction

With RS500 Sierra's fetching in the hundreds of thousands of dollars these days this should be interesting one to watch.
It was an ex Ford press fleet car that was left in a garage and all but forgotten about.
Its showing 12,530 miles and is said to be in need of mechanical recommissioning which won't be cheap but if you've already got the cash for the purchase price the rest will be a bargain.

Knowing you like the little British Fords Rallye, this one’s a another special I think you will interested in.
After A little bit of research, I believe it sold for an undisclosed amount.

Just a garden variety (excuse the pun) Cossie this time.
Gone are the days of hoping to find an old Twin cam or RS2000 hidden away, it seem to be the time to dig out old Sierra's ...not a bad problem to be having
