Strong Sales Performance from Launch
From its debut in 1982, the Sierra quickly became a bestseller, with annual UK sales climbing from 13,213 in its first year to over 175,000 by 1989. These figures illustrate the model’s rapid rise in popularity during the 1980s.
Mk1’s Longevity Until the 1987 Redesign
The Mk1 version continued to sell strongly until a revised model replaced it in 1987. Today, early Mk1 examples are considered scarce, making them prized by collectors.
Notable Design Quirks and Collector Appeal
While celebrated for its modern styling, the Sierra is known to be highly prone to rust, so buyers are advised to inspect the bodywork carefully. This combination of classic design and the challenge of finding rust‑free examples has turned the Sierra into a sought‑after project for Ford purists.
