Default Looking for my old sapphire 4x4 (K191 VRP)

Hi guys,

just a a very random thought. I owned an smokestone 4x4 saff that I bought back in 1998 when I was 18. I sold it in I think either 2001 or 2002. Very very highly specced as I used it for sprints and hill climbs. Car was immaculate also. Sat on rondels, tarox 6 pots front and 4 pot ap racing rear, leader coilovers etc. List went on. Engine was a full group A touring car built by mountune .

Would love I’ve to see if this is still around and what’s change over all these years. Hope it’s still about .

Hope you lot could shed some light for me.

Dean

Can't say I've ever seen it, but it's a beauty

Thanks James. I have seen it in the register pics and I know the wheels have been painted grey. But I couldn’t tell you when .

Spent a lot of money and time on it like we all do and I just hope it’s still around and going strong.

Such a pity that you decided to sell it. From the photo's and your description it was a very good example.Hopefully it's still being looked after and enjoyed.

Thankyou cossynut2, well things move on and had such a good time with it but I had always wanted a skyline gtr. So ended up with a standard 33 gtr which ended it’s like with 674 bhp , 554 torque. Now I drive a work van. Haha.

There was was something about the cossie as I grew up with my dad racing cosies in sprints and hillclimbs(rs500- A10 COS).

will always have a soft spot for them but there to expensive now to get another for me.

Well at least you replaced it with another top powerful car.which must have been fun, but have you no longer got the GTR either?

No more gtr. Got married and a house so that took priority. Then my business. So those days have been and gone now I’m afraid. At least I can say I had a good time with cars which I did.

Hope you get a chance in the future to get another performance car. Once you have owned one it would be hard to not get tempted again! I have owned my 2wd Saff for 25 years and have no intention of ever getting rid of it.
