Details
Surveys showed that many fleet buyers wanted the extra anti-theft security of a lockable boot and Ford were losing out in this market, as their radical looking Sierra was initially only available as a hatchback. Whit a major facelift of the Sierra planned for 1987, nearly five years into its life, Ford spent 228 million Pound developing a boot and a more conservative frontal style. It worked and the "new" Sierra range finally went ahead of the Cavalier in the UK sales charts. Number Plate: J785 SOF Limited Edition 2.960 pcs. (with certificate) It was scheduled to be released back in 2007 but corgi decided to cancel several models from production, this was one of them however for reasons unknown a very small quantity (and we are talking single figures here!) made it out of the factory complete with correct box and even the limited edition certificate). This is a very rare find and a must have for any diehard vanguard or ford collector.
