ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The Warrior 16-valve conversions are usually the preserve of legendary historic rally cars and are highly desirable and very expensive that few humble Pinto engines will ever enjoy!  An email in 2015 from Connaught Competition Engines, (the owners of WARRIOR Automotive Developments since February 2003), confirms this as being conversion No 0374 and the cost of this setup a whopping £24,600!  Power is quoted at 238bhp at 7500 rpm and torque 185 lbs.ft at 5500 rpm.  The gearbox is a Quaife Type-9 close ratio with large tooth semi-helical gears with a taller first gear and uprated AP Racing clutch to cope with the extra power.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Genuine Ford RS Ronal alloy road wheels are unmarked with logos and part numbers clearly defined.  Quality Yokohama A539 185/60 R13 tyres show plenty of tread.  The spare alloy wheel is housed correctly in the boot area.  Wilwood Superlite 4-pot calipers grip tightly grooved and ventilated front discs and standard RS 9 inch rear drums are fitted to the rear.  Perfection in all areas.

HISTORY FILE
This RS2000 Custom was manufactured in November 1979 and first registered on 4th January 1980.  The first owner was the Ford Motor Company themselves.  In 1989 the car was purchased by Andrew Jobson from Burton Power.  His dedication for the marque and this car can be witnessed in all areas with parts painstakingly sourced, many being New Old Stock still in their Ford packets!  A six page feature in Classic Ford Magazine in May 2013 explains how he eventually sold car after 23 years with it being pampered ever since in the hands of few dedicated RS enthusiasts.  RS Owners Club Valuation forms from the respected late Dave Robinson and Mk2 RS2000 Guru, Alan Sherwood, are included and an Agreed Valuation in October 2016 by Hagerty of £45,000 is underwritten.  The car is very well respected and is often referred to as the Terracotta Warrior due to its factory colour and jewel of an engine costing £24,600 to replace.  Recent works by Wayne Mitchell Competition Engines Ltd to include a cambelt and Rolling Road Services by Emerald M3D Ltd, (suppliers of the K6 ECU), offer piece of mind this car drives as well as it looks.

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.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Developed extensively by Ford’s Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE), the 3.0i DOHC V6 24V Duratec powerplant pleased Ford’s engineers by surpassing the ST220’s namesake with an actual power output of 223bhp.  Coupled with impressive maximum torque figures of 285Nm at 4900rpm, a top speed of 151mph and 0-60 in 6.8 seconds was achieved.  Jeremy Clarkson whilst originally testing the ST220 remarked, “Every time I drive one of these cars, I ask myself why do we buy anything else?”  The engine bay is spotlessly clean with all factory labels and stickers intact, and the only modification specified by the previous mature owner is an expensive, quality and very discreet Milltek exhaust system that is visually very close to standard whilst emitting a delicious burble.  The six-speed gearbox is light and precise with a sporting feel.

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.

The history file further consists of previous MOT certificates along with invoices and receipts to fully document the low mileage and the conscientious upkeep.  Two original Ford keys with codes tags are present along with the full book pack in the Ford zip wallet and all dealership literature and security code cards.  A highly regarded and appreciating modern classic Ford presented and maintained to an excellent standard.

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.

A sensational Ford Sierra RS Cosworth pampered with just 52,356 miles.

MODEL HISTORY
The Sierra RS Cosworth project was defined in the spring of 1983 by the then recently appointed head of Ford Motorsport in Europe. It was established that at the time, Ford was no longer competitive in this area. After receiving full support from Ford Public Relations, the project was underway with the Sierra chosen as the basis for the task ahead. Ford Motorsport in Europe approached the automotive company Cosworth who answered positively, but put up two conditions: The street version of the car had to produce no less than 204 HP, and Ford had to accept no less than 15,000 engines. The project would only need about 5,000 engines, but Ford nevertheless accepted the conditions. The extra 10,000 engines would later become one of the reasons Ford also chose to develop a four door, second generation Sierra RS Cosworth. Few cars have ever been greeted with such enthusiasm as the original Sierra RS Cosworth.

EQUIPMENT
Bodyside mouldings, integral front air dam, colour coded door mirrors, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, bonnet cooling vents, halogen headlamps, integral front driving lamps, colour coded polycarbonate bumpers with black insert, single plane rear wing spoiler, tinted glass all round, central locking, leather gearknob, leather three spoke sports steering wheel, cassette storage, electronic sound system (model ECU2) with power amplifier, tilt and slide sunroof, tachometer with turbo boost gauge, quartz digital clock, graphic warning module, electric windows.

The glass is number plate etched and the front screen has delaminated slighted to the lower bottom edge. Supplying Ford dealer number plates and rear screen sticker remain fitted. A truly sensational car commensurate with the incredibly pampered care and true to the original Ford SVE Department design.

INTERIOR
The interior of this RS Cosworth is outstanding and exactly as Ford intended.

This was the car that ticked every box and was given the seal of approval, much to Mr Syretts relief! The A4 file is brimmed full with paperwork, all neatly filed in chronical order from the original purchase invoice at Bristol Street Motors for £16,704.69 to the latest cam-belt and water pump change at Harvey Gibbs in August 2019 for £438.14.
