Is it right the crystal blue sapphire were the first sapphires off the production line and how many were this colour?

 

not sure if they were the 1st ones off but i do know there was 300 only in this color!!

and over the years with people crashing them and breaking them there aint many in this color left!!!!

 

I have nothing to add to what [b]palmer3914[b] said except for Best colour ever!!

 

thanks for the repies,i've got a crystal saph,it would be interesting to know how many are left if there were only 300 made!!!
cheers

 

iv got one and no of one that goes to wsm passion ford meet so two more

 

The best colour IMO followed close by moonstone blue , i had the later

 

I had a Crystal Xr4x4, absolutely LOVED that colour!

 

We should start a crystal sapphy register lol !!

 

I Had a crystal 2wd, but some muppet before me had blown it over in Imperial blue on the outside so when you opened the bonnet it still showed its original colour. Should have just left it crystal blue and got a white one to attack with paint.

 

i can remember when i 1st got mine i spoke to a mate of a mate of a blah blah blah ......... who had accsess shall we say to somwhere where he could find out how many cosworths in "BLUE" there were.... now bearing in mind this was 2 years ago nearly ... 71 remaining on the DVLA register

 

70 mine was broken scrapped last year.

 

70 then

 

we really should try to see how many are left and how many are on a e and f plate
mine is on a f

 

i cant see that as being right mate TBH

as crystal blue saphs would of been registerd as blue
AS would ALL moonstone cossies (3dr, 2wd saph and 4x4 saph)
and smokestone blue saphs would of as well

and there are definitly more than 70 left!

 

yep more common than 70!my mate had a crystal one wen i couldnt drive.he said its the rarest coulor.WRONG!(smokestone,red,blue and black etc.)since then-2years ,ive seen about 10 sahs in each year=crystal blue.

 

i see what your saying, but im just the messenger from my mate those years ago, not the rarest- crystal blue i know, but shit load rarer than white, moostone,mercury etc the color's you normally see.

as for the 70 left i quite belive it ..... 300 made in like 1988 so 18 years later 25% ish left .... hmmmmm beliveable

and also just to add i assume my mate would of taken that all into account in his search........ or maybe he just bull shitted me!!!

 

 

so its like that then lol

 

easy boys

 

my crystal blue one was still alive a couple of years ago now its just a rolling shell in primmer in my lockup

loader i remember seeing a imperial blue cossie in the bmouth area I used to live in burton just outside of christchurch

On my old computer that fucked up about 2years ago now i had over 40 pics of different crystal blue cossies but never had them on disc i love crystal blue and have had a crystal blue mk2 xr2 and a very very rare genuine crystal blue mk4 xr3i and i`m going to respray my mk5 rs2000 crystal blue

 

doesnt moonstone show as blue on a V5 though?

i forget and ive had 2 moonstone cossies

 

yes mine just says blue

 

mine too ....... god knows thats what i was told anyway...... must be a way we can find out for sure! must be

 

palmer is it the diff or gear box you just had done ? what sort of money we looking at for it and does the car drive much better ?

 

Yes it does

 

i had the diff done by bernie, the gearbox was re-built ages ago by previous owner, as for driving better ...... hhmmmm

shall i say it drives different

if you want to drive it fast its awesome very sure footed, once you get used to the amount of grip the atb gives you and strange little movements of the back end as its getting grip. its awesome.

if sideways it your thing well still very good , except you need to 100% provoke it to go sideways otherwise it grips and grips and grips

But once it is sideways .......... thats all ill say!!

 

mint i was talking to marco about diffs and it was a the atb or gripper will have to see what comes up
