AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL:

The 1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth is one of the most iconic sports cars of the 1980s, originally delivered to the German market and imported into the Czech Republic approximately twelve years ago. It has had a total of three previous owners. Only around 5,500 units of this first generation were built to meet homologation requirements for rallying and circuit racing, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector’s car. The vehicle is registered in the Czech Republic to a private individual, with no VAT deduction possible.

BODYWORK & PAINTWORK:

Around five years ago, the car underwent a complete restoration during which the body was fully stripped, repaired, and repainted. The exterior is currently in excellent condition, showing no scratches or rust. The paintwork has been professionally polished and protected with wax. The car currently rides on non-original 15-inch wheels with a lower offset, though the correct width and tire size have been maintained.

TECHNICAL:

Powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 204 horsepower, the RS Cosworth can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 6.5 seconds and reach a top speed of approximately 240 km/h. During the restoration, the engine was thoroughly cleaned and resealed, with the turbocharger, fuel system, and wiring overhauled. The clutch was replaced, and the chassis partially refurbished with repainted axles and new components. New shock absorbers, brake discs and pads (front and rear), refurbished calipers, new bushings and mounts, a resealed differential, and new drive shafts were installed. The exhaust system is non-original. Most recently, all fluids and filters were replaced, ignition timing adjusted, new spark plugs installed, and the alignment checked. Mechanically, the car is fully functional and without faults.

INTERIOR:

The interior remains largely original, with a few updated elements. The door panels and rear side trims were reupholstered, and the driver’s seat bolster was repaired. The dashboard is original but has multiple cracks—a common issue with 1980s Fords. The passenger seat has a small tear in the cushion. Despite these minor flaws, the cabin is clean and well preserved. All systems are functioning as they should.

DOCUMENTS:

The car is registered in the Czech Republic to a private individual. No VAT deduction is possible. It comes with a valid technical inspection and documentation of recent servicing and restoration.

PICKUP:

The car is located in the Czech Republic and is ready for immediate viewing, sale, and transport.

We can arrange transport across Europe on both open and covered trailers, as well as overseas container shipping through our partners. Export documents and full assistance with import/export procedures to the buyer’s country can be provided, applicable to both motorcycles and passenger cars.

OTHER INFORMATION:

This Ford Sierra RS Cosworth is a carefully maintained, extensively restored example of a legendary performance model. Offering outstanding mechanical condition, fresh servicing, and a clean presentation inside and out, it is both a strong investment opportunity and a thrilling classic to drive.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
