Are these cars still Attention Grabbers?
Do you get lots of comments and looks in yours?

I imagine an Escort Cosworth gets more than say a Sapphire..?
But Both are Still Lovely

Big time when 2.6 bar is blowing through your gt30 and your going by them like there going backwards while still struggling for grip and they thought you where too old and not fast lol

I think so especially when you get 12 year olds knowing what a Cossie is and respect of random people in carparks and petrol stations etc wanting to chat about them

Incorrect.

I did charity runs last year in my Sapphire. I couldn't believe how many kids (7 or 8 years of age) actually knew what my car was. Clearly these children were being brought up correctly by their parents lol

dean9595

I'm always getting comments , ill get at least one customer a day ask who owns the cossie and say its in great condition don't see many these days

doga-ot

iTrader: (1)

I prefer the moonstone saphs or white, but because of what car it is and not alot left I dont want to change the colour, engines/mods/wheels etc can all be changed back to original if needed but colour is a ballache and ŁŁŁŁŁ toput back to original

There is an exception to that though, I am 23 and I have far more interest in cars of the 60's 70's than modern cars, to this end my Cosworth is a show car, and yes it draws plenty of attention, in additon to when out getting fuel and being out on the road.

Being a cult car they are very famous, even people who don't really know alot about cars, including woman, still know of them.

But agreed though, you really have to be enthusiast of my generation to own one, most only know them from what they have seen on Youtube, on 'cruises' etc, other than that they follow the crowd with Evo's, Scoobys, and hot hatchs.
