There can’t have been many standard Sierras that made it to the hallowed pages of Custom Car magazine, but the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was something a bit special and we’re wondering if C232 HVW was a press car, as it featured in the February 1986 edition.
This particular Cosworth seems to have vanished since 2004, but these things never get scrapped, do they? Is it hidden away? Is it competing in motor sport and not road-registered? Who knows? Maybe you do….
With retro Ford prices absolutely sky high right now, and with a certain amount of provenance, C232 HVW could be a little goldmine. Will we ever find out?

We’ve found some unusual things in this collection, but this might be one of the hardest to explain at first glance. From the front, XDD 288 looks like a slightly careworn late-1950s Morris. Walk around the back and most of the Morris has disappeared. Where a rear seat, doors and boot once belonged, there’...
