At a time when some people are saying that classic car prices are struggling, Anglia Car Auctions have, yet again, blown that sort of talk right out of the water! This 1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth has just been sold for over £50,000.
We did feature a short video of this car on the UK Barn Finds YouTube channel prior to the sale and some of the people commenting actually got quite close with their own estimates. There really are some genuine internet experts out there. As for the ones who said “scrap it” and other such nonsense, well….
The final price achieved, with fees, was £50,760.
This car had previously been off the road for a number of years and was sympathetically recommissioned by the vendor. We absolutely loved the fact that it looked battle-scarred, but would not be surprised if it was looking a bit ‘prettier’ next time it hits the road.
There was talk that this Ford Sierra RS Cosworth may have been a Ford press car. The numberplate had the right credentials….what do you think?
So, next time somebody tells you old Ford prices are dropping, please point them to the Anglia Car Auctions website, where they’ll find all the latest results and cars coming up for sale.
And, of course, if you have an old barn find car that you’d like to feature on UK Barn Finds and maybe even sell, do please contact us.

This MG Midget auction result turned into one of those wonderfully busy little sales where bids seem to come from everywhere at once. We opened the reel with a simple question: Who likes a Midget? Quite a few people, as it turned out. This 1971 MG Midget MkIII went under the hammer at Anglia Car […]
This Fiat Panda auction result looked, for a moment, as though it might turn into a proper little battle. And you could understand why. This 1994 Fiat Panda Selecta CLX was clean, remarkably low mileage and described by Anglia Car Auctions as one of only four of its type in the UK. Then two bidders […]
Some old cars arrive at auction looking battered because they have spent decades slowly deteriorating. This one is rather different. VVR 677L is a 1972 Austin 1800, better known to generations of enthusiasts as the “Landcrab”. Its last recorded MOT was in 2018. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it disappeared from the road eight years […]
