Default Rouse Sport Saffs...How much are they fetching?

Always liked the look of the extra little bits and bobs you get on them, just wondering what sort of money they are fetching and if anyone knows how regular they come up for sale?

Cheers!

rolled arches were in there.. tiny bespoke turbo for quik gettaways, bigger injectors, er more bhp and torque, the whole tuning setup is different. I have got the whole gumpf and publicity stuff from when they were realeased, but its in a box that i cant get at right now.

plus a few others things

260bhp/300lbt rouse 302-r/304-r



A smaller Garret T25 turbo rather than T3 which all but eliminates turbo lag as boost is available from about 1700 rpm upwards.

Re-mapped ECU.

uprated suspension buhes



Different front bumper which also incorporates an RS500 style splitter.

Larger boot spoiler.

Different side skirts

Rear bumper skirt

Rouse Sport 302-R/304-R decals to back valence and side rubbing strips.

Rolled arches to accommodate the 225/50/15 yokohama tyres rather than 205/50/15 on the standard Cosworth.

Full leather interior (only very few had cloth) which included extra shoulder bolsters in the front seats which were also re-badged as Rouse Sport rather than Recaro

Option Wood pack fitted to door carsd and dash inserts ash trays etc..

More sound proofing around bulkhead and under carpets

luggage bar & straps

twin edge wipers

high output bulbs

identification plaque

Initially Andy Rouse planned to build 100, however, the total figure only reached 67 of which 6 were 2 wheel drive, the other 61 were 4 wheel drive.

Big BHP figures were not the aim, the aim was to develop the engine to produce more than 300lb/ft of torque. This was achieved, hence the name, 302 for the two wheel drive and 304 for the 4 wheel drive. The 2 and 4 relating to drive wheels and the 300 depicting 300lb/ft torque.

theres prob a few more Modifications i forgot or don`t know of?

yeah I think so. I cant believe how lucky I am to own one to be truthful.
I think if my house was on fire i would defo run into the flames to retrieve my car keys. Sad but true. I'm not the most knowledgeable about cars, but i know what I like.
