1993 Ford Sierra 1800 cvh azzura estate This is me straight after I got it home (a trouble free 200 odd mile drive) Spent a whole day cleaning, tidying, removing etc and bloody ages deciding where to put my Boognish sticker It doesn't have a rev counter so I got one and installed it in the old tape storage place (have yet to actually wire it up though) Plans are to lower it (already got spax adjustables for the rear) maybe bigger wheels but I kind of like the ones on it at the mo, clean up the couple of little rust patches and that's about it

Will keep an eye on this one, great fan of sierra estates. Not a fan of the wheels though What are they of anyway? One had magically appeared in my tyre shed, no idea where it came from ;D

Nice estate the Sierra, would defo suit some cleaning up and smoothing out followed by the obligatory slamming and wide rims! Ford PCD has loads of wide, dished options too

they are just the standard 14" wheels, pretty sure I have seen the same wheel but with about an inch of dish - that'd be a nice subtle swap
i'll be busting out the photoshop to see what various wheels will look like (my gut instinct says to try revolution 4 spokes for some reason) - open to suggestions btw

I have good memorys of one of these, when we made a road trip through France, up into the Pyrenees to Andora and back. Never missed a beat and had enough space for us4 to sleep in (ok, not realy ;D). Good cars, those Sierras. Extra points for being an estate!

Good cars, those Sierras. Extra points for being an estate! certainly likes to be on the motorway! first thing the mrs did (after i gave it a good clean) was check to make sure we can both sleep in it - even i can stretch out almost fully so success on that score. she also very much approves of it as it reminds her of the cars she had when she was younger going to festivals or road trips up to berlin - she'd prefer it to be a diesel though

I liek that a lot..
Estates do rock, my auntie had a 89 model ghia from new for about 10 years, i loved going out in it..
so much so that I'm tempting myself.. so must look away...
as to models and alloys - i have no idea, but the lad next door to me has a 93 K plate white 2.0i Hatchback with the very same alloys on - never noticed a 'special model' badge tho, will have a look and see what it says on it
