1987 Ford RS500 Sierra Cosworth | London

A 1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth, the rear-wheel-drive homologation special Ford built for touring car racing. It is known for its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine and bodywork shaped by function: the wide arches, bonnet vents and large rear wing all manage air at speed. Period testers liked its strong performance and lively rear-drive handling. This car is finished in gloss black, which gives its sharp lines a dark, solid look. It wears the two-tier whale-tail rear wing and a deep front splitter. Inside, blue Recaro sports seats take four people. Condition is very good. The 1980s shape suits period film and television, music videos and advertising, where the black paint and big wing place the scene in the decade at once. Photographers get crisp lines and a glossy finish that picks up city lights. Motorsport-themed events can use its touring-car background. A wedding or personal hire gets a bold alternative to the usual. The car is based in London.
