Ford Sierra

The Ford Sierra

The Ford Sierra was a mid-sized car or large family car that was designed to appeal to a broad market, from families to fleet buyers. Available in a number of bodystyles including hatchback, sedan, and wagon, the Sierra was introduced as a replacement for the aging Ford Cortina and was known for its distinctive aerodynamic styling, characterized by its 'jellymould' appearance. Manufactured and sold between 1982 and 1993, the Sierra was designed to compete with contemporaries like the Vauxhall Cavalier and the Austin Montego.

Typically, the Ford Sierra was purchased by individuals looking for a reliable and spacious vehicle that could cover a variety of needs, from commuting to family trips. It became particularly popular among company car drivers in the UK due to its practicality, driving dynamics, and affordability. Over its 11-year production span, around 3.4 million units were sold, making it one of the best-selling cars of the 1980s and a common sight on British roads.

The Sierra did encounter initial market resistance due to its radical styling, but sales picked up as the design became more accepted. Over time, the Ford Sierra became known for its versatility, particularly with the performance-oriented Sierra RS Cosworth model, which added a significant performance boost and sporty appeal. The Sierra's legacy includes a strong following in the classic car community, where it is remembered as an iconic piece of 1980s automotive history, fondly recalled both for its innovation and its role as a family and company workhorse.
