Sierra XR8
Saw this on Gumtree...
1984 Ford Sierra XR8
http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-cars-bakkies ... 0358475209
R150000 with a sagging headliner...
I've seen Sierra XR8's with black, grey, blue, or white lower sills and bumpers, which is correct or were all colours options?

Re: Sierra XR8

Is it a really dark shade of blue? Could swear the Car Magazine test car had black bumpers.Pumpkin wrote:The correct colour is Blue. Its difficult to get the correct shade though.

It should be indicated with a color code on your Warranty Plate/VIN tag?
Could different XR8's have different codes?
Re: Sierra XR8
If you read the Car Mag article it does say that its blue.
Colour on the vin tag only shows body colour. We tried to match the vinyl colour as close as we could. The original colour of the vinyl was under the beadings on the one we are currently busy restoring

Is it not a 3 digit/letter code? Mind sharing?Pumpkin wrote:Colour on the vin tag only shows body colour.
Re: Sierra XR8
Will confirm the code tomorrow. Code points to Diamond White iirc.
