1988 sierra 1.8

well im after a sierra to start my MK Indy R (R1) project.

now ive found a 1988 1.8 sapphire L on ebay that is local?

so how much do these usually go for? and how much should i set my maximum bid at?

anyone any idea what diff these have?

and anyone know the going rate for having a car transported 25 miles?

cheers,
matt

Quote a well know builder "about 150-250 i guess. its worth whatever someone will pay for it. if someone's silly enough to pay 700 for one, that's their problem!"


Oh the diff will be a 3.62 push in shafts. R1 needs 3.38 and we have several in stock at the moment give us a shout

the 3.62 diff will give ten mph per 1000 revs
It has a great acceleration rate but 7 thou at 70 is a bit buzzzy

We delivered a bike on Friday and on the way back passed a forecourt with a red Sierra among the stock. The price on the screen was £12995





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

do you need a sierra ?? ie are you going to fit the engine and box or do you require certain parts ie are you going bike engined. Many of the parts can be sourced seperatly it new steering racks, uprights props (made specifically)

cheers, ill probably stick with the 3:62 diff to start with, and see how i get on, but might swap it for a 3:38 later on once im bored with the accelleration and want more top speed.

and no i don't really need a sierra, but i think it will work out cheaper than buying all the bits seperatly. also i can use the sierra's reg, so i donn't have a Q plate.
