Nice little thread over on Pistonheads, the old saff is getting a lot of love on there

Had a 4WD version from 1993-95, having had lots of fast cars since, BMWs, Porsche 911 and now an Aston V8 Vantage the Sapphire still reigns as the best (apart from the Aston), speed, handling and just sheer power was amazing, even my wife loved driving it and she's all about speed.

Yeh the saffs are still a good car to this day. Surely there must be more than 1000 left in this country.

It was a good write up and I enjoyed it. It makes a change that the isnt getting slagged off.
