Prefer the original wheels, the red on the other ones make it look cheap :-(

Thats a great find. Always liked that colour, i had a similar colour on a G reg orion ghia. I also think the original wheels look good. Nice to hear it isnt going to get molested, its too nice for that.

I LOVE this. I was talking to my mate yesterday about how I would love a Sapphire one day. This is a stunner. Best colour.
Agree with the guys above, the standard alloys sit so well.

been asked elsewhere about the wheels dunno who eddie is! but they aint his wheels lol
I'm probably gonna paint the spokes black next week or may go back to silver
the story with this car goes like this... i had an operation two weeks ago and had to stay off work to recupperate,i just spent days trawling the internet looking for a new toy after selling my granada
this car appeared on ebay and i was onto it within 5 minutes of it being put on there, ive always bought low mileage low owner cars and decided after to speaking to the cars 81 year old owner to offer a price for it and get my mate to drive his truck 100 miles to get it, when we arrived we found the car even better than his description and an upset wife off the owner who cryed when we loaded the car onto the lorry, it really is as mint as the photos suggest,and ive got to say the family i bought from were great people turning down two firm offers for more than i paid, but the old fella said a deal was done with me and that was it.
ive had a good few old fords somewhere around 500 cars in 30 years,this is quite modern for me but i cant justify paying the ridiculous prices some off the cars are going for, got my daily driver so the sierra is safely locked away ready for a few sunny days....if we get any!

That looks really nice, Lovely colour and the Sapphire version always did look nicer with the boot spoiler, Is this the 1600 model?, I have concur with the others though, It did look better on the original alloys to me!

Very rare to see such a mint and original one. I'd just have been running that slightly lowered on the original wheels myself.

Coilies... as reversible as the wheels if you decide to sell it to a purist at a later date  Looks dead tidy does that, not sure about the red either though I never liked the oe wheels on these I guess they're worth saving so it could be put back to standard. Your car your way mind, whatever floats your boat. |
