EQUIPMENT

Police car equipment; Professionally fitted decals, Police crest and Police lettering, Blue siren light, soundtrack recording of television program, The Bill. Dealer options; Ford Extra Cover plan, (now expired!).

EXTERIOR
Dare to be different and stand out from the crowd with this Police replica Ford Sierra whilst pretending to be DC Alfred ‘Tosh’ Lines or DCI Frank Burnside from ITV’s The Bill, or indeed whoever you wish, (Police related ideally). This 1990 Ford Sierra Laser is finished in Ford Diamond White, (Code B3), and has undergone the professional fitting of Police replica decals and Cambridgeshire Constabulary Police crest, along with detachable roof mounted blue light. A car that was a regular daily driver until 2019, this Sierra having provided reliable service to its long-term owner for 26 years is not to the usual KGF Classic Cars standard but looks great and has real presence. Very presentable overall, the car on inspection has age related markings and routine repair work to the sills and underside has been undertaken. The wheel arches, door tops and other common weak areas are sound but historical work is evident. All trim sections, lights, glass and badges are present and fully intact. A perfect prop car or simply for the classic Ford and Police memorabilia enthusiast with a big sense of humour!

INTERIOR
The Madrid trim in Shadow Grey colour scheme, (Code L5), is clean and in very good order with an amateur repair patch to the driver’s outer bolster. The matching door cards have some shrinkage to the fabric, a common occurrence, and some markings. Having not actually served as a Police car, the rear seats have not been frequented by villains and remain in excellent order. The dashboard is complete free from cracks and houses fully functioning switchgear and gauges with exception of the Ford radio which powers up but does not work. The original parcel shelf is straight and uncut in tune with the cars unmolested appeal. Clean, functional and oozing retro comfort, wonderful.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The original 1593cc OHC Pinto engine develops 75bhp to achieve a ‘Baddie’ catching top speed of 103mph and 0-60mph in a reasonable 13.3 seconds. Remaining in standard specification and subject to regular comprehensive servicing as evidenced in the colossal history file, the engine runs and drives beautifully and is a joy to drive. The five-speed synchromesh gearbox is light and effortless. Never have Police austerity cuts been so much fun!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original 13”steel wheels wear the correct genuine trims which have been amateurishly refurbished and cracks visible. 165/80 R13 tyres have plenty of tread remaining. The very clean boot area houses the spare wheel, Ford jack and wheel disc board whilst the perfectly preserved boot floor still has factory stickers attached. The dual line servo assisted G-Valve brakes with ventilated 10.5” front discs and rear drums bring the car up to a steady, straight and assured halt.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by Ford Main Dealer, Jessops of Stamford, and registered new on 11th May 1990, the vehicle was purchased new by Mr Arthur Popple. At three years old, Mr Popple traded the car back to the supplying dealer, Jessops, and it was promptly sold to Mr Cyril Plant. Remarkably, Mr Plant owned the car for 26 years until his sad passing in 2019. Used as a daily driver and maintained to the highest order, the massive history file speaks for itself with a huge collection of invoices, receipts and every single MOT since the first in 1993! Perusal of the history would literally devour hours of time and also includes the full Jessops Ford book pack with the service book containing 19 stamped entries. Routine cambelt changes have been carried out. The current mileage is fully verified at 97,656 miles. Mr Plant has kept absolutely everything even down to dealership correspondence including when he wrote to them to express his appreciation of them valeting the car and to please pass on his thank you to the Valeters!

Close to home for KGF Classic Cars, this Sierra has remained in the Peterborough area its entire life and its acquisition by KGF Classic Cars was down to our Operations Manager, Steve. Having recently moved to a new home, Steve was carrying out evening dog walking duties and came across the car on a nearby driveway. Upon striking up a conversation with the late Mr Plant’s son, Colin, it became apparent that the car needed a new home. Seeing the cars potential and wishing to save the car from an uncertain fate, a deal was struck and both Steve and Angus the Westie returned home with the car, much to the bemusement of long suffering yet very understanding partner, Sarah. The Police car project is now complete and this truly brilliant but not perfect car is ready to enjoy or even earn money on the prop circuit. If you must be arrested, do it in retro style!

Escort Mk1 Twin Cam

SORRY NOW SOLD – SIMILAR WANTED

An early Mk1 Ford Escort Twin Cam in perfect condition and AVO Club registered.

MODEL HISTORY
Prior to the Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO) plant at Aveley was opened all Twin Cam Escorts were constructed at Fords Halewood factory. On the same assembly lines as other Escorts, through body assembly, paint and trim areas until the point mechanical components were added. At this stage they would be taken off the line into a separate small workshop where a dozen specially chosen workers were ready to slot in the unique components. Roger Clark took a ‘works’ Twin-Cam, registered XOO262F to its first international rally in April 1968 and Group 2 homologation was achieved on the 1st May 1968 when Ford convinced the authorities that 1000 cars had been made. By the middle of the year Twin-Cams were winning in rallies and on the race track. Queues built up and order books lengthened and most cars once delivered were usually rushed into a workshop, stripped and modified for a particular purpose. A total of 1,263 Twin Cams were produced at Halewood but this early car is one of 883 with the BB49 chassis number and rectangular lights.

EQUIPMENT
Type 49 bodyshell, rectangular headlamps, external bonnet release, black painted grille, front quarter bumpers, flared front wings, strengthened chassis rails, strengthened flitch plates, boot floor stone deflector, foot operated windscreen washers, two-speed wipers, rev counter, speedo, battery condition indicator, fuel and oil pressure gauges, Aeroflow ventilation, sun visors, cigar lighter, ash trays, courtesy light. Rally Equipment Options; Auxiliary touring fuel tank.

EXTERIOR
This early Twin Cam still has its factory Type 49 strengthened bodyshell finished in glorious Ermine White, (Code AB), as detailed on the original chassis and AVO plates. The paintwork is simply stunning and extends to a colour coded impeccably detailed underside. Such is the show winning standard and correctness, this car was invited onto the official AVO Owners Club stand at the 2019 Lancaster Insurance NEC Classic Motor Show. Panel gaps and shut lines are millimetre perfect thanks to work carried out by renowned marque expert, ASM Restorations, now quoting 12 months waiting list for new work. Only fitted to early cars are the original rectangular Lucas headlamps and all other lenses and glass are genuine FoMoCo items. The external lockable bonnet release button, one windscreen washer nozzle mounted in the bonnet are early car features and the starting handle hole is missing the rubber grommet correct for car prior to January 1970. With almost no clues to the special nature of the car other than Twin-Cam badges on the flanks and flared front wheel arches this Club registered, factory correct, very rare and immaculate car is the real deal.

INTERIOR
Simplicity and functional in every respect. An interior perfect to factory specification retaining virtually all original, date correct trim, instrumentation and switchgear. The heavy lateral fluting Black Vinyl, (Code D401), seats with push button controlled tipping are unmarked. The door cards are not reproduction and have the early padded block type stitched effect design, even the carpet is the original six-piece set! All gauges operate including the 140mph speedometer and 8,000rpm rev counter, within the satin chrome finished binnacle requiring calibration. The small metal Ford oval is fitted to the inner passenger-side doorstep. The pristine boot area houses the floor mounted spare wheel on top of the Hardura boot mat, car battery, jack and wheel brace in the fawn muslin bag and a very rare Rally Equipment option, an auxiliary touring fuel tank an extra 9 gallons of fuel, doubling the escort fuel capacity. Perfect in every way.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Taken directly from the Lotus Cortina Mk2, the chain driven DOHC 1558cc engine built by Lotus at Hethel, near Norwich produces 109.5bhp. Lifting the bonnet reveals why these cars are so special with the power plant tilted at an angle to fit and a host of modifications unique to the Twin Cam and to get everything into place. Correct features are seen everywhere from the engine stabiliser bar unique to the Twin Cam and plenum drain on the bulkhead to the cheese wedge washer bottle and three-eared oil cap. A reassuring sight is the original AVO plate or colour plate and chassis plate, not reproduction items. The suspension top plate also has the chassis number visible. A Ford Type-3 four-speed gearbox with three-rail shift mechanism and remote change, also known as the 2000E box, offers precise crisp changes and the hydraulic clutch is light with the correct combined brake/clutch master cylinder mounted in the engine bay.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Lotus Cortina wide steel wheels fill the arches nicely measuring 5.5x13in and topped with immaculate chrome hubcaps. Period as new Dunlop SP Aquajet 165 HR13 tyres are fitted to all five immaculate rims. Stopping a Twin Cam is an impressive standard brake setup. Front discs and larger rear drums as fitted to the Capri 3.0 and later AVO Escorts are pressurised by a Girling Powerstop remote servo located on the inner wing in place of a standard Escort battery tray. This early Twin Cam is also fitted with the rare brake pipe stone guards.

HISTORY FILE
Built at the Halewood factory in October 1968 this early BB49 chassis number Twin Cam is registered with the Ford AVO Club and certified as a rare surviving example still with its original Type 49 bodyshell. First registered on the 1st May 1969, such is the condition and factory perfect credentials, it was asked to be featured on the AVO Owners Club stand at the 2019 NEC Classic Motor Show by Twin Cam Registrar, Mark Heath. Mr Heath recalls the car from earlier days when it even featured green stripes! An A4 folder with invoices and MOT certificates dating back to 1975 are included along with supplementary workshop manuals and other period booklets. With just four former keepers recorded and ownership with credible Ford RS Enthusiasts all with amazing collections, this car represents the pinnacle of any Ford stable.

EXTERIOR
Finished in stunning optional Ford Performance Blue, (Code H2), the leading colour choice of many Ford ST and RS variants and the must have choice for the ST220.  Commensurate with the incredibly low miles covered under avid enthusiast ownership, the paintwork boasts a brilliant deep gloss shine and superb uniform finish.  Only the closest scrutiny will reveal faint markings and some stone chips to the front, none to detract from the cars impressive appeal.  The original Ford glass has been chassis etched and there is slight delamination and stone chips to the front screen.  Ford main dealer number plates are fitted and all badges and trim sections are well preserved with no discolouration.  Muscular styling and twin tail pipes hint towards the sporting prowess of this performance tourer.

INTERIOR
The interior of this remarkable example is in spotless condition and exactly as Ford intended.  The Ebony Leather upholstery, (Code EV), is beautifully clean and free from undue wear or damage.  Minor markings to the driver’s seat bolster and scuffs to the driver’s ST tread plate are barely worthy of mention.  The body hugging Recaro front seats are immensely comfortable while holding the occupants firmly in place, even upon the most spirited drive!  Tailored Ford rubber floor mats have protected the carpets from new and the headlining is flawless.  All controls and functions are exactly as Ford intended even down to the factory fitted Sony 6CD stereo system.  The leather trimmed steering wheel, gearknob and soft finish fascia are pristine.  Truly exceptional and unquestionably an enthusiasts car.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The standard ST220 18in 16 spoke alloy wheels are virtually perfect and the beautiful centre caps are as new.  Quality matching Michelin 225/40 R18 tyres all round have excellent tread remaining.  The braking system featuring a host of electronic assistance programs offers superb stopping power.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new on 1st March 2004 by Ford Main Dealer, Thornbury Motors Limited of Bristol, this example has been truly cherished by just three mature keepers and covered a mere 37,212 miles from new.  Despite the minimal mileage covered, servicing has been carried out regularly with 10 Ford main dealer and specialist stamps displayed in the service record, the most recent entry being a major service carried out in April 2019 at 36,897 miles with a supporting invoice in the history file for £929.43 for the servicing and maintenance work.

In August 1995 the car was sold by Cowie Ford of Birmingham to Mr Michelangelo Flammia at which time the mileage was 10,000. Mr Flammia traded in his D registration Ford Sierra GL for £650 against the purchase price of £6,980 for the Orion and it was only upon his sad passing 24 years later that the car was bequeathed to his son, Antonio. The history file consists of the Cowie Ford purchase invoice along with the original Ford book pack with service book as well as some previous MOT certificates and invoices. There are two Ford keys. This fabulous 26 year old survivor is sure to please anyone seeking an entry into classic Ford ownership with this rare and well preserved car.

The factory original Frozen White paintwork, (Code JD3), looks superb with a uniform finish and all original panels are pin straight. There is a tiny ding above the drivers door handle. The racy ‘Aero’ body-styling kit and chunky sports trim sections, badges and optional GT side stripes are in superb order. Originality seekers will be pleased to see factory stickers and labels in the door shuts as well as Ford main dealer number plates. The underside and wheel apertures are clean and it is clear to see that this garaged example has escaped the boy racer scene! A prime example of the facelift Fiesta ST150.

INTERIOR
Inside this sporting hot Ford are a pair of body-hugging ST-branded partial leather sports seats in Blue Diamond combination, (Code KF), comprising of Blue Wire fabric and Ebony Verona Leather along with a matching colour scheme fascia in Passion Blue/Ebony. The entire cabin space, seats and trim can only be described as immaculate and it is very obvious that this is a very well cared for example. Bright red ST emblems to the seats, steering wheel and sill scuff plates emphasise the performance credentials, and all functions and controls operate including the parking sensors, air conditioning and model 6006 stereo radio/CD. An unmolested hot hatch Ford interior.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Fitted with the Ford 2.0 litre Duratec engine, the power output is quoted as 147bhp at 6000rpm and 190Nm torque at 4500rpm. The maximum speed is 129mph while 0-60 is dispatched in just 7.9 seconds. The engine bay is spotless and displays factory stickers, panels stamps and clear chassis number stamping. The standard Durashift 5-speed manual transmission is wonderfully tight and precise, perfect for quick and enthusiastic changes!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Unique ST design 17” alloy wheels are immaculate thanks to a light refurbishment with no curb damage and all Ford badged centre caps are as new. Branded tyres of size 205/40 ZR17 have been recently fitted and have covered very few miles. The original space saver spare wheel still wears the factory Continental rubber, housed in the pristine boot floor which has factory stickers and PDI markings still visible. The jack and wheel brace are present. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) with discs to all four wheels offer rapid stopping power for this performance hot hatch.

HISTORY FILE
Factory records in the history file confirm that this example was built on the 14th April 2007 with date of first registration by Ford Main Dealer, Lookers of Chelmsford, on 27th April 2007. Having covered just 39,923 miles from new and thankfully having avoided the clutches of the boy racers and modifying scene, this example is in exceptional order. The Ford zip up document wallet houses the original handbook and service book which has 8 stamped entries with the most recent service in November 2018 at 37,500 miles. All security code cards are in the wallet and there are two Ford keys. Representing the next generation of collectable fast Fords, this desirable Frozen White example will delight any Ford fan wishing to find one of the best preserved and unmolested cars.

EXTERIOR
Finished in ever desirable Diamond White, (Code B3), this spine-tingling RS Turbo looks fantastic with all factory panels straight and undamaged and the paintwork boasting a bright shine.  The desirable 90 Spec enhancements such as the face-lift front bumper and rear spoiler are exactly as Ford intended, as is the rest of this unspoilt example with all Carello lights, Ford lens clusters and factory etched glass still fitted.  Correct decals, driving lamps and aerodynamic aids remain in excellent condition.  There is slight delamination to the bottom of the front screen.  Ford main dealer rear screen sticker and number plates are fitted and virtually unobtainable genuine Ford headlamp protectors still remain to reveal the care this remarkable example has enjoyed.  A brilliant and iconic Fast Ford.

INTERIOR
This late S2 RST has a near perfect interior which remains exactly how the manufacturer intended.  The fully adjustable supportive Recaro seats show no wear having been fitted with seat covers protecting the ‘ Zolda ‘ fabric which is grey, red and blue (Code LW).  Matching door cards are pristine with only very light markings to the interior door handles whereby age-related deterioration is a known weak point.  The carpets are still protected by the rubber Ford ‘waffle’ over-mats.  All switches, knobs and dials function correctly and the original Ford Keycode stereo radio/cassette remains fitted with factory speakers.  The boot area is spotless and houses the genuine jack and wheel brace and there are factory dot stickers to the boot floor.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 1.6 OHC (CVH) fuel injected engine with a Garrett AiResearch T3 turbo charger and intercooler is completely factory standard making this vehicle a rare unmolested example.  Producing 132bhp it gives a 0-60mph dash of 8.2 seconds and a top speed of 128mph and having covered just 43,980 miles from new is still fun.  The car has just benefited from a full major service including cambelt, water pump, pulleys and tensioners all using genuine Ford parts with corresponding invoices.  The engine bay is remarkably clean with factory plates, stickers, inner wing stamps and an unpainted slam panel data plate.  The genuine Ford Carello headlamps still have the stickers to the back of the units but the chrome has aged along with the bonnet turbo heatshield.  A factory original exhaust system remains fitted.  The 5-speed manual Ford BC box with standard 220mm clutch is light, precise and a joy to use.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The correct light alloy 6X15 RS wheels remain undamaged and in superb order.  Matching 195/50 R15 Uniroyal Rainsport 2 tyres are fitted with ample tread.  The spare still has the factory Uniroyal item and due to age is for show purposes only.  This Hot Hatch slows as well as it goes with the ABS braking system designed in conjunction with Lucas Girling working perfectly.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new by Ford Main Dealer, Greyhound of Accrington, the car was registered on 15th August 1990 as one of the final Series 2 RS Turbo’s and on a H registration.  The mileage of 43,996 is fully verified with every MOT certificate dating back to the very first in 1993.  The original Ford document pack holds all handbooks and point of sale literature and all keys are present including the working torch key as well as the special RS Turbo sales brochure.  A collection of service invoices and receipts including the major service in October 2019 completes the impressive history file.  KGF Classic Cars sold the car in 2013 and more recently in 2019.  Only being replaced for an identical ultra-low mileage example sourced by KGF Classic Cars, we are delighted to see its return again knowing how difficult it is to find excellent, low mileage and unspoilt examples.
This is an iconic Fast Ford preserved exactly as intended and wanting for nothing.
