![]() Today's Car Of The Day comes from Brett's collection and is Majorette's 1983 Ford Sierra. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car, please visit: Ford Sierra ![]() Interestingly, Majorette labeled this as a 'Ford Tempo' on American packages. Words cannot express my intial excitement at the prospect of a Ford Tempo (I liked these as a kid and still do now), only to discover it was, in fact, a Sierra. ![]()

Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

For some reason, I'm drawn to these '80s EuroFords. Must be because my cousin had a Merkur XR4ti back in the late 80s-early 90s. I have this one, the Matchbox 2dr from the early 80s and both the Corgi and Hot Wheels releases. |

The Sierra is one of my long-time favourites when it comes to diecast collecting. An ordinary car that almost every maker has done. The real Sierra is horrible to drive in my opinion and the quality is poor. I have had a couple beaters shortly, but wouldn't like to own one for a long time. It has a huge following here amongst youngsters who have to have a RWD car and even the worst ones tend to be repaired over and over again, though not necessarily reasonable. |

I also remember these being marketed by Majorette as the Ford Tempo. I remember buying my first one from a store, and the card had a sticker on the front, with the model number and "Ford Tempo" on it.![]() |

A nice model of an everyday Sierra. It sits nicely with Matchbox's XR4i. They were everywhere at one time but I can't remember when I last saw one. They were a bit of a Marmite car, not everyone took to them. They liked the traditional rwd but not the shape. GM's Vauxhall Cavalier had a more acceptable shape but fwd. This sort of car from mainstream manufacturers seem to have all but disappeared now. We all seem to buy C class Mercedes, Audi A4s, BMW 3 series. New Mondeos are a rarer sight in the uk. This model is from the era when Majorette made cars your parents might own. Not fragile exotica. Nice choice. Chris |

Interesting variations Dean! I have never seen it with such wheels than the yellow on on the back or with no "Sierra" text on that kind of tampos (the one on the front right) |

Likewise on the no Sierra gray one, and I don't recall seeing the blue or white examples before either. All of them are nice! |
