In the era of the Morris Ital, Peugeot 505 and second-generation VW Passat, the introduction of the Ford Sierra in 1982 must have seemed like a seismic change. Its advanced, aerodynamic styling was criticised by some for looking like a jelly mould , although we understand some of its features were toned down a little to make it more palatable to a wary public used to the boxy Cortina. Even so, many didn t immediately take to it.
The Sierra launched with a choice of hatchback and estate body styles, and lower-grade versions same with narrower headlight units and a conventional grille.
The petrol engine line-up was essentially carried over from the Cortina, with an entry-level 1.3-litre offered, although most customers would have chosen a 1.6-litre. Then there was a 2.0-litre, and at the top of the range a 2.3 V6.
