1983 Ford Sierra 1.6 (base model)
I knew of this car long before I was in to flickr, rare vehicles or sharing such things. Then of course, once I was aware of it, it disappeared and I thought it gone the way of the scrappage scheme. I spotted it last night and got up early to return and capture it. Seems like it is hanging in there but you kind of feel there is a whole heap of rust ready to get out. I don't think I would begrudge it though, this car is nearly 30 years old and is clearly providing reliable to service to one owner.
I wondered if it might have been a 1.3 base model - I always felt sure some of the real base models did without head restraints and kept very basic bucket seats. Of course, this could be my memory playing tricks on me.
