This car has had two previous owners, the last one for a long period of time. This Sierra was badged as XR4i but I believe correctly should had been 2.0i, once it is RWD and has the 2.0 DOHC engine with 125hp. Recently was driven for about 600 km from his last address to my place. No problem at all, drives really well. The main known imperfections are shown in the pictures of the ad. Detailed pictures available upon request. Located in Portugal, close to Porto Airport. If needed, you can get a low cost flight. I will pick you at the Airport to check the car. The correct price in Euros is 5450€ (about £4,700) - open to sensible offers. Can be delivered in Birmingham by a UK based company for £860. You can arrange collection from there, or if you prefer delivered at your door, it has an additional cost of £1.20 per mile from B70 0TB. Please view HERE other cars in stock, or HERE the sold stock for more inspiration. Feel free to contact me by Phone, E-mail, WhatsApp or Telegram.Thu, 13 Oct 2022 13:27:15 +0000Long shot!!

I was going to refurb my current wheels but, because they are deep dish with polished lip, I got quoted the same price as actually buying a new set if wheels. I'm going to go for the same wheel, 13 x 7 ET -7 deep dish superlite style with the polished surface around the lip. Going for the package with the 185 60 13 Yoko A539's as I know these are probably the best tyre choice for Northern Irish roads. Basically im just checking that JBW are the best choice to go to and nobody else can beat them for quality or value?Wed, 05 Oct 2022 10:53:39 +0000WIN Two Lifetime Weekend tickets to the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show!Our competition prize this month is two LIFETIME tickets to the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham, this year on 11-13th November 2022.
