Tim is right that you will need the V5 from 'a' donor. This can be from any Sierra if you choose to install a BMW engine and gearbox. Although you will be using Ford running gear, if you use a BMW engine and gearbox, none of the other parts is donor specific ie it could have come off any Ford Sierra. Perversely, if you wanted to retain the Ford Engine and gearbox you would have a problem as it can be traced back to a specific car by its engine number, and then you would need the original V5.
I have a spare V5 you are welcome to which would put you on a J plate. The last Sierra was on a K plate I believe, and there are dealers who will sell you one of these for £30 if you prefer. Granada/Scorpios ran to an R plate, and again V5s are available for these.
