Memories of the Sierra tend to focus on the fire-snorting RS Cosworth, all outrageous body addenda and whooshing wastegates. But the Sierra range was broad, encompassing utilitarian base-model family runarounds to luxurious middle-management affairs, such as the 2.3 Ghia. With its creamy-smooth V6 engine (mated to an autobox for optimum motorway wafting), spongey seats and excitingly futuristic selection of dash lights, it was a curvaceous harbinger of things to come in an age of set-square design. Once ubiquitous, they're a pretty rare sight on the roads today; good news, then, that Ford's Heritage fleet exists to keep such cars as mementos of times past.
