Once you have had a cossie thats it there in your blood.

There cant be many silver ones around either.

bruny

Thanks everyone, it's not mint but it's a good driver,everything works as it should , all electrics,no smoke rattles nothing,all fully standard apart from back box done over 120 mile in 2 days and hasn't missed a beat after nearly 2 years parked up,the day I sold it i regretted it,so I jumped at the chance to buy her back yer silver in standard trim is rare I believe these days,

Has it got the colour coded boot spoiler lip? If so its one of the last ones off the production line.

They do look nice in silver

bruny

No mate it hasn't it's all.silver,I was told it was months away from getting the likes of air con and the likes of the spoiler and that but I'm unsure of that,it's not a bad colour people say it's the executive version of the cosworths in this colour lol

chris cdti

5-6-1992 that sapphire was built with an August reg date


The sapphire I'm after is a 28-9-1992 build and has no aircon and has rainbow recaros.

50 miles in 2 years? Id be buying one that was a bit more reliable!

bruny

He bought it to store away and keep it for years,this is the most reliable cosworth I have ever owned.i owned it for just over a year when I had it I did 7000 trouble free motoring and I have further done another 200 mile since getting it back and again never ever misses a beat,so in that case people who store there cars away they must be un reliable to as well then I take it

fuzzy

I was joking....never mind...!

Looks really fresh, good colour choice too!

Personally I'd get the standard bumper lip back on and paint the foglight surrounds back to the original colour so it's 100% standard again, looks too good a car to be modded in any way.

bruny

Im sure the fog lights surrounds are the original colour rnt they mate?

rog

They should be metallic grey I'm sure, a colour similar to moonstone blue but lighter. Mine were painted silver by the body shop when they did my car and it really annoys me lol.

sridgett

kosienutter

Blimey! I remember when my White one looked like that when I first got it!

It's dead now though

jameswrx

Don't think I've ever seen a steering wheel like that on a cossie, nasty aren't they! Is that original for the late car then? I assumed they'd be the same as the 90 spec 4wd one's. You'd have thought it'd at least be leather.

I only ever had a couple of saph cossies, an 89 2wd with a 3 spoke wheel which I really liked and then I had a 90 spec 4wd and the wheel was still 3 spoke but a chunkier centre which I disliked compared to the earlier car.

jameswrx

I'd always thought they'd be like this..



Guess Ford must have been cost cutting on the last of them.

I'd have that swapped straight out for a leather one. Keep hold of it no doubt, but looking at that in my cosworth would make me feel a bit uncle dick. I'd feel like I was behind the wheel of a GL.

I always hated it when they swapped to the MT75 box and ditched the rubber gear gaitor and changed the gear knob. It all felt so wrong in hand, hated the look of it too, looks all goofy and top heavy, aside from the gearbox feel compared to the T5.

bruny

I agree they horrible looking but it's what the came came with so it's staying the way it is lol.plus it makes it Diffrent from the rest lol

rs_traynor

Just like my mates... His is on an L plate
