I was wondering if any of u guys knew how many Sierra sapphire cosworths 2wd were made in Ebony Black, I've got one F reg and someone said to me that they were a pre-order colour and they reckoned that there was only 12 made anybody know!!!!!!

 

I'd like to know the answer to this one too, as well as how many Ebony Black 4x4's there are.... I've got a black 4x4 and I havn't seen that many about at all.

Think there were a few more than 12, but it was deff a limited number, and most came with cloth rather than leather which was an optional extra

 

I think the three 4x4's in performance fords grudge match are ebony,
(not100%) i have an ebony one aswell. (4x4)

 

Oh well just thought someone might know !!
And yeah mine has the cloth interior Wish it had the leather stuff lol
Maybe just have to buy some!!

 

There were defo limited number of pure black sapphires (2wd if I'm correct) we have an ebony black 4x4 (ebony black was a later colour on 4x4's afiak) its almost black dark grey and is metalic, not proper black - which are the rare ones

I thought the few they made in RWD were ebony black too Zo?!

Lynne yea thats what i would do!! althou alot of ppl change the dash and trim etc to match aswell!

 

2 of my mates have em

H-Reg & a J-Reg

 

Well I'm certainly not 100% sure, thought there were different shades/colours for the rwd and 4x4 i.e magenta on early sapphires then was it was noveau red on later 4x4's, flint grey were 2wd then ebony for 4x4, I do know that proper black (non metallic) sapphires are rare (Lynne may be right saying 12, someone from Norfolk RS group had one), haven't a clue if there were any early sapphs in ebony, surely the plate under the bonnet should tell exact colour, ours does - can't remember all the different colours cossies were available in (is there a list on the net somewhere?!), perhaps we need to do a thread on the main forum find out all the different shades

I am pretty sure that Lynne is correct and only 12 proper black sapphires were made from the factory

Were any rwd made metallic eboney black?

Yes AFAIK only 12 black sapphires were produced

 

hi, havnt got a clue how many were made, but i would like to say hi to zoe and jason as havnt spoke for ages, so!!!
HI ZOE
HI JASON

 

Well when I get home from offshore on Thursday i will check under the bonnet !! Where abouts will i find the plate lol
I'm not that clued up on cars maybe go to the garage and get ane o the guys to check for me!!!

 

Should be on the front panel where the bonnet stay and grill is attached to Lynne, a small rectangle metal plate with writing stamped on - does it look plain black to you? Chances are you are right though! Post a pic!

Hey Dinger, long time! Was USC 2002 last time I saw/spoke to you! Hope you doing well, thinking of ditching the R5's for a Ford?!

Z

 

He already has Zo and got himself a cossie, but he'll never be too far away from Renaults will you Dinger oh and btw you get about almost as much as me lol !!

 

It is plain black not metallic there is a pic of it in my webpage in my fotos in faceparty it isn't very clear though it wiz gettin dark but the security light shinin on it

 

I run a site for the silver ones, so far only 19 registered!
Ive got a mate who works at ford and got him to see if he could get some figures for the different colours but they wouldnt tell him for some reason

 

Dave.
