For sale on Gumtree, I just had to laugh & share it with everyone.

I hate to think what the rear axle loading is on that and I think I'd leave the steering lock on.

MOT until July next year though.

It looks like a TOP GEAR creation.....

I bet its a French Kit, think I have seen something similar made in France.

I like it... Lots of (suspension) tuning bits available for Sierras, so handling not really a problem.

Uprate the engine and it'll make a good long distance vehicle..

Here's one for a Saab.

and this one made by Ginetta Sports Cars in 1970 so they could trailer a car to a race meeting and have somewhere for the mechanics to sleep while at the track.

I would love to see inside one of those in person. They look quite quirky.

I think they came very close to calling it "Toppleover" for a reason!!

Now , if I had one of those forty odd years ago my back wouldn't be in the state it is now.
Back seats were never wide enough.
Memories can still bring a smile to a 65 year old's lips.

The rare bit is the Sierra not seen one of those on the road for years.

Looks like the 'Clip-a-car' (I think that's what it was called) has been given new life - I think they're the ones you will have seen in France in the early '90s.

Those are Ford Executives, my dad had one of those (minus the camper bit of course).

Oddly enough I saw a Sierra yesterday. First one I've seen in years.

I guess most of them have been pillaged for kit cars, like mine...

From 1980 - 1988 I was a salesman in a Main Ford Dealer. The Sierra "concept car" was revealed at a motor show in SECC roughly a year before becoming available to the public. I commented to my sales manager that it looked hellish and would struggle to replace the MKv Cortina. His reply "you better get used to it , it will be your bread and butter for a long time". The concept car had infilled wheel arches like the old cars seen in gangster movies , so a few things changed before mass production thankfully.
Older Mondeos are few and far between too.
Hope 't pup and the good lady are well.

My other half Max has a Sierra XR4i in the garage that he’s restoring

Ooh! One of my favourite cars. Had a black one, black leather, cossy wheels, cossy Ltd slip diff. Owned previously by a guy who raced Cosworths so he had breathed on this one, quite a bit as it turned out.
Brilliant in the dry. Very scary in the wet when playing.
Please send me pics when finished,(unless it's in white).
