I had one of the first Sierras in the country. A lovely shade of brown. Sadly there was a fault with the paint (apart from the colour) and it had to be resprayed under warranty.I think I had the first "Jatoba" 5 series in the country, the dealers hadn't seen one before and it was launched just as I ordered mine. It was a nice colour "brown" and probably the best thing about that car...

It may have been short lived, or not sold in great numbers, but it was a typical late 70's early 80's colour.I don't remember that colour and I worked for Ford Motor Co in those days I only remember Roman Bronze from the 70's, says something for my memory

Oops.....sorry for saying that one looked awful.Yep Y reg, with the unpainted nose. I thought it was great and it was free as well.
Then came the cosworth. game changerOn a Y registration.
I remember when it was first introduced and it looked completely different to anything else on the road at the time. The official Ford tv advert showed a car with the smooth front which was initially only available with Ghia trim. The base model looked awful with the unpainted nose.
I grew to love the Sierra and Sapphire.

Indeed it did...and in keeping with the subject of colour my favourite was Moonstone Blue.
