Can anyone help me find Phill2400's old Saph Cosworth? I helped Phill sell it through here to a guy Rob Jones I think, from Southampton.

It was this car, used on the MSD adverts even now:







Had a pretty damn tidy engine bay - Stage 3'ed



From what I remember back at the time, the 18s and the AP Brakes were put up for sale by the new owner soon after the car sold. The reg FIL2400 Phill has retained. I think the reg it went back on was E106 ***

Anyone know where it is these days or what became of it?

Si

 

Back in July 2010 the 18" wheels in the MSD advert and the AP Brakes were sold on Ebay. One other thing I remember is the car was up for sale again on 17" Momo Arrow wheels.

 

was this the car that was once 400bhp in a mag? the guy said it was his sons car originally who built it and passed away hence him selling it on.. his dad didnt know the mods but knew it was 400bhp .. hmm ill try and look for that mag.. i remember it because the colour

 

Don't think it's that one. It was never more than 350 bhp, unless the new owner too it to that power level in the last 2 years, then died... and his father then looked after it??

Either way, as it looks in the pics above, that was all done by Phill who is very much alive

 

Think that's a different car mate. But I too remember something like that happening and that had a 2.4 yb also

 

I think, only think that might me the one Cossie Sean ended up with a few year ago??..... then again I may be well off. Im sure he'll be along to correct me at some point.

 

Loved that saph.

 

You want to buy it back.

 

i done the fast ford feature on phils car, loved that car!!

the flames were mental lol

 

The car your thinking of where the owner passed away is a similar colour but is now sadly getting broken for parts by Rs classics.

 

I loved that saph

 

Doesnt phil have that plate on an offroader now Si?

But he would be able to tell you what plate this car is now on as it must have been on it when he sold it?

 

I remember this car, going sideways out of a turning in chase of a kit car! Great memory. Car was mint when I last seen this, dont really know Phil, see him at Westlands but not sure he remembers me. I am sure I seen this car for sale in Southampton area a while back, the guy was hard up and couldnt shift it. Wanted around Ł6500 for it but that dropped and sure he ended up keeping it. Had a change of wheels, think it might of been on standard's. I remember they didnt flatter the car much. Does he want this car back now Si?

 

I could probably help, but whats the numberplate now?

 

Was it a PE/Passey & Porter/Lovell stroker engine?

 

Possibly, condition and price dependent - plus if we can find it!

And what a great feature it was too! It was all going well with the donuts on the runway, till the airtraffic controller started going mental

Yep, Phill has it on his Hyundai Santa Fe! Would look much better back on a Cossie though

Phill couldn't remember the plate last night, but will ask him to rack his brains some more!

He'd like a Cossie again if funds allow, and he was very attached to that particular car! We went through loads of old meet photos and shows pics last night, thinking back to the good old days of tyre smoke and flamer kits

Last seen on 17" Momo Arrows when I last saw it... not sure what it was on most recently. Southampton was the area IIRC.

I'm not sure, but will try to find out. Speaking to Phill yesterday he thought it was E106 something or other...

It was intended to have a 2.4 motor done, but never happened. The engine was a mild rebuilt 205 block standard motor. The plate lied

 

Wish Phil some luck on fInding the car , & it will be good to see Phil in a cossie again

 

I will keep an eye out for you

 

not me

this was mine, Aprillia blue
bit more power shal we say

 

Will keep an eye out on my travels....
