High mileage, but otherwise this car is really nice.
Manual transmission, too... there can't be any other good ones of these.
If I wasn't out of garages, I'd be probably talking to these guys.

Re: 1991 Sterling 827 Si
I see their cars for sale often. They have good looking cars but they are not cheap. I wonder what kind of buyer feedback they have.


If it was easy everybody would do it.

Re: 1991 Sterling 827 Si
The ebay feedback seems ok, but I wonder how sorted the cars are. Like if they just get them looking good for the photos or if they go through them and do all the little things. https://www.ebay.com/sch/grautogallery/ ... pg=&_from=

The only possible way to consider owning a Sterling is if it's a 5-door.

Yeah, that is a very high price, but the car looks about perfect cosmetically. Great color combination, too.
They've sure got an eclectic selection of cars at that place.

What you really want is the Vauxhall Carlton Lotus. The wife can always park her car out in the street right?

That is one fuggin' ugly Nissan Sentra. Worse for its fugly red color.
Sameguy and I agree (that's, what, twice..?). Only Stirling hatchbacks are mildly interesting, from afar. They aren't as interesting inside as are Scorpios with better leather, reclining rear seats, interesting appointments, etc.
YMMV

The manual is interesting.
They only sold 2745 cars in 1991. Any manual 1991 827 must be extremely rare.
Best one in existence? It's quite possible...

Well, it made it to Ebay.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/144524418859?h ... SwMgJh80f7
Good luck to 'em, they're probably gonna need it.
No matter good this looks cosmetically, it's still a 150K mile Sterling.
