The Ford Sierra Sapphire RS was a high performance car developed by Ford Europe and produced between 1986 and 1992, during which time just over 5500 were made. Our four door saloon version appears this time in a brilliant red with black trim - a favourite colour combination in real life on this very hot motor! Registered G898 SVV from 1989-90, the interior is moulded a contrasting dark grey. The wheels reflect the early style 'lattice effect' Sapphires, as do the early style rear lights. A final detail comprises a rear spoiler, completing the racy image for the petrol-heads of the day!
