Hi, Basically I've got a friend who's dad owns a "red" sapphire cosworth. Now i know these were very limited and i was curious to know if it was actually real!

Reg: G222 SUD

Any help would be great, cheers

When you do a vehicle check it says Colour Not Stated:

Date of Liability 01 06 2014 Date of First Registration 26 09 1989 Year of Manufacture 1989 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1993cc CO₂ Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Licence Due to Expire Vehicle Colour NOT STATED Vehicle Type Approval Not Available

 

You'll need 2 do a hpi check that'll tell you if its had a colour change

 

Do you think the "colour not stated" is evidence of it being changed? i will tell him to HPI it

 

www.etis.ford.com might tell the colour if you've got the vin number

 

Only works on late 91 cars on....

 

Chassis number(under driver seat) should mate vin plates on slam panel



My Pink ...cough Red Saph ...SVO,Special Vechicle order ....

 

Oh I do like that red cossie

 

There should also be some sort of ID plaque in the engine room, which tells you what color it is. For example I have Moondust Silver coloured Cossie, and in the engine room plaque it says ''Moondust Zilver''.

 

askmid.com says it is

 

My Car Check on Iphone brings back

Make : Ford
Model : Sierra Rs Cosworth
Colour : Not Stated
Power : 150BHP?

Other Saphs come back with the model being : Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, seems iffy to me.

Not a fan of red ones, but it's always nice to see a rare car, especially if it has a story to go with it.

Those online HPI checks won't tell you much unless you pay for a full one or get someone to a proper one for free. My car is imported and bugger all comes up before 1998 unless I get a 'decent' HPI.

As said, check the plate on the slam panel, under the carpets and trim for any obvious signs that is used to be a different colour for example, or get a better HPI...

 

I've got the vin if anyone knows what to do with it!?

if it's an 89 car it won't be red, they came in the 90 and 92 spec version (from memory) and it was nouveau and another red, think ford quoted as them making 12 red saphs as a 92 spec 4x4 not too sure about the rest

 

That's not correct, and it's radiant red

 

reds red

 

It was Rosso Red before 90 and after 90 spec Radiant Red.....

Sounds unlikely, I'm sure you'd be able to tell if you have a good going over it

 

June 1989

 

The Bomkers red sapphire is for sale at the moment, in the listings it states that it is a 1989 special order in Radient Red (one of 5 made to celebrate the end of 2wd production)

I think Red (Radient) was only offered on facelift 4x4 saffs it was a brouchre colour, just not many people ordered it

 

Stuart,
Could you send me a PM about this car please?
