Weren't Sierras this late sourced from Genk? (so not UK origin) |

Made in B, the gentleman from Edinburgh is correct. Article d.d. 16 Feb 1989 confirms Ford moving all of the Sierra production to Belgium: Link to "www.tijd.be" "It took twice as long to build a Sierra at Dagenham as at Ford's Belgian plant at Genk." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/how-dagenham-changed-gear-1616344.html (Twice as long! LOL!) |

Craftsmanship can't be rushed. Plus Dagenham were still using facilities dating back to the Middle Ages - I bet Genk had received much more than twice the investment ....... (puzzled note to self - why am I defending Fords?? I hated Sierras - nasty cars to drive. Must mention this to my psychiatrist in the next session) |

I've drove several times an Mk1 1.3 L, this one for the accuracy and before get in it, I thought that I was going to drive the slowest car of the world, but surprisingly it's quite brilliant for a such a small engine on a rather heavy car. Plus the excitement to drive a so exotic (at least here) car |

The first car I ever drove all on my own after passing my test was a Sierra Sapphire 1.6L (G219 KKY - from the office car pool), so it's engraved in my memory and should be a fond first-drive memory. But it was a horrible thing, as were the other Sierras I was given (all 1.6, 1,8 or 2.0 and usually L). Other stuff in the car pool like Rover 214, Primeras, Cavaliers, 309s and 405s were much better. |

I've spanked a classmate because of the Sierra. He was showing off with his father's brand new Sierra (one of the very first), but I was talking very nasty things about this ugly chunk (it's still for me one of the ugliest car ever), that he started to cry and tried to hit me. But I was taller and stronger Indeed the Sierra was, besides the Mercedes 190, the Golf II and the Citroen BX, the reason for my decision "Since now I stop with any interest for actual cars!" This decision, made in 1983, is unchanged valid still today. |
