It is not an RS500 with real low miles and in perfect condition so why does the seller think it is worth so much!!! If anyone is stupid enough to pay that for it they definitely have got more money than sense!!

it could be a new body shell from ford or motorsport place back in 90s if so you could get it stamped by ford service center with sapphire number all above board etc.. but him with that claims it was bought from ford old stock never seen road etc or he told me then i asked what was on logbook and he said saloon so wey said it all to me that was when it was eather 25 or 29k on gumtree..

That is what I don't understand, how can a 3 door Cosworth be registered as a Sapphire 4 door? What do you insure it as, a 3 door or Sapphire? Even if I had the crazy money he is asking for it I would not be interested!

Looks like back in 2004 the same car was being questioned on here

"Dodgy 3dr?"

......seller reckoned that it was 1 of 3 special builts for the police.

Lots of references to how ruff it was....

yeah thats the point.. its like a full cosworth replica on book as 1.6L you carnt insure it correct like the sierras with v8s in as soon as u say its a 3500cc etc its like hang on its come up as 1.6 base once you say engine is changed its like there want reports and all kinds.. but like said you carnt insure it as 4dr saloon and its a 2door hatch you no.. but im sure back in day you could change body type hence the f reg 3doors and some e reg ones people claim are 100% but the vin in engine bay says body type but logbook can still say hatch but the vin will code as saloon..
