1991 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth Rouse Sport 304R

Registration: H672POH
VIN: WF0FXXGBBFLY26734
Milage Showing: 79,000
Transmission: Manual
MOT: NO

  • 1 of only 78 Rouse Sport Sierras
  • Car number 3
  • Recent full restoration with stunning attention to detail

Designed and tested by British touring car legend Andy Rouse, based on the standard Sierra Sapphire cosworth the Rouse Sport Sierra was set to be a limited run of 100 cars consisting of 2 wheel drive (302R) and 4 wheel drive (304R) variants. Only 80 cars were built, 2 customer 302Rs plus a factory prototype, 76 304Rs and a factory prototype.

Available to order new through 18 select Ford RS dealers across the UK at a cost of £4,450 plus VAT on top of the £21,000 list price for the standard car and widely regarded as the best variation of Ford's super saloon with magazines such as Autocar pitting the 304R against the standard car and other tuned variants proving the 304R superior.

Upgraded from the standard car the Rouse Sport pack included a smaller custom designed Garrett T25 turbo greatly reducing turbo lag, ECU map to accomadate the new turbo helping to increase the BHP from the standard 220bhp to 260 and pushing the torque from 214lb ft to 300lb ft and in turn giving the 304R its name (300lb ft and 4 wheel drive) these changes helped shave over a second from the standard cars 0-100mph time.

While the standard Cosworth suspension remained Rouse Sport upgraded the bushings and increased the tyres to 225/50 all round surrounded by a custom designed wheel arch liner to ensure no fouling. These changes mated with the Rouse Sport bodykit consisting of front and rear bumpers, aero side skirts (designed to reduce aero drage on the new wider tyres) and larger rear spoiler. Other changes include Rouse Sport interior based on the original Recaro frames with larger bolsters and lumbar, body coloured C pillar trim and numbered build plaque.

This example is build number 3 and was supplied and first registered by Peter Clark Ford of Skipton in January 1991. Fresh from a full nut and bolt restoration by an award winning and widely regarded Ford restoration specialist. Finished with a stunning attention to detail using new old stock and as many original parts as possible.

Showing 36,000 miles although service records show a speedo change at 42,000 in November 1993 meaning the current mileage is 79,000.

Sold with original book pack, service book with Rouse Sport insert, delivery information and 15 service stamps as well as large file of records for servicing, MOT certificates, tax discs and Rouse Sport information.

A truly stunning example of one of the rarest fast Fords, a must for any collection.
