I remember reading a few years back that there was about 5300ish 3 doors and 14500ish sapphires,cant remember if that included 4x4's or if it was just solely 2wd sapphires.i think (im probably wrong) that there were only around 2000 escos's due to the insurance being so high for cossie's in the 90's.i dread to think how many original geneuine car's are left due to the amount that give up their running gear for other cars or have been wrapped round trees etc.
