As title, thankyouplease

 

Yes

 

Yes

I've had 2 - 4x4 Ghia with the 8v DOHC engine.

 

yes! mate had one and i couldnt believe it! said he had it as a winter un abouyt and was much better as a 4x4

 

Did write 'No' but I'm clearly wrong!

 

To be fair, its not the sort of thing anyone takes much notice of, they were crap, lol

 

are you going to fit an RB26 into one

 

ghia 4x4 and the XR4x4i

 

They did estate 4x4 as well

 

And your the editor of Fast Ford

Steve.

 

I dont remember ever seeing one either, hence the question, as saw an argument about Sapphs on another forum.

Seen 5doors and Estates, but dont ever remember seeing a Saff, but cool, now I know.

 

Apparently so. Luckily, intimate knowledge of 4x4 non-turbo Sapphires isn't a prerequisite of the job. I do know some other stuff. Honest!

 

If you think that a 2.0 8v 4wd sierra is a FAST ford, you are very easily pleased.

As editor of a ford mag it isnt his job to know about every weird and wonderful obscure slow niche vehicle variant ford ever made, only nerd's even care about such things

 

I was thinking the same as you but then I realized it aint a fast Ford.

Edit: Chip beat me to it.

 

I`ve been driving one all this week as it goes, 2.0i Ghia 4x4

 

Now I think about it I can recall a Ghia variant, (poss also a GLS 4x4) but don't think I've ever seen an XR4x4 Saph.. Can't be many about..

 

no thats me being a tit and not reading the titlle properly, dont think they did XR's in saffs

 

XR4x4 was only available in hatchback form with 2.8i, 2.9i V6 and then for tax break, 2.0i
4x4 Ghia was available in sapphire form in 2.0i 8v guise
4x4 Ghia Estate was avaiable with 2.8i, 2.9i and 2.0i 8v engines
GLS 4x4 was available in hatchback guise with the 2.9i engine

XR4i was originally 2.8i V6 in a Mk1 3 dor shell, but then in 1991 was again made but with a 2.0i DOHC 8v engine in a normal sierra hatchback shell - these were only 2wd.

 

They certainly did. I have one.

The amount of people that think they are Cossies when you say you have a 4be Saff is unbelievable. Underrated car for what they are. Granted, they are not high-speed missiles, but they never were meant to be.

They have the corner-handling of a 4be Cossie, with the mpg (38mpg on a run and 30mpg round-town) and reliability of a normal car. Mine even has a/con, leather interior, heated screens, electric sunroof, etc... Basically, fully loaded from the factory.

Some people will hate them, some will love them.
