Quite fancy a sierra cosworth for a little play, preference the 4x4 sapphire.

 

I have had a couple of the older XR4i's but never the cossie, anyone had any experience with them ? :p

Totally agree, although I do have a real thing for the Lotus Carlton. :)

 

I'd forgotten about them, Si :slap:

 

I'd not say no to one of those either.....

No Comment !

I remember having a little play with one on a private road. It was 380bhp and 4 up. I was on my own in the standard zed. He couldn't pull away from me at all.

Its going to be interesting when its done Paul.

 

But if you see me in your rear view mirror then pull over:);)

awesome to the max lol

 

thats going t be one quick car, gonna shock some saxo owners that will lol

did they do a 4x4 cosworth - i thought the 4x4 was the 2.8i and the cosworth was the 2 litre turbo

yes mate they done a 4x4 saphire, the early rwd were much more fun for their day

fast , quick , great street cred and road presence but now old and now brittle ..........and will have been thrashed mercilessly most of its life .............it was only designed to have 220bhp the RS500 was designed to take up to 500bhp and had chassis brakes to match , the saphire cossie is on its limit of the chassis coping at 300 bhp .......so unless extensive susspension and brake upgrades have been done i would steer clear.

im not a 100% sure but didnt they do a few limited editions sapphires with the Andy Rouse RS500 package?
