Default 4x4 or 2wd

When exactly did Ford change the Sapphs to 4x4?
Was it 1990 H or were the late G's 4x4's as well?
Seen s couple on Auto Trader and it just say's 1990 so not sure what they are.

302 were 2wd & 304 were 4wd front bumper, side skirts & rear spoiler were different to a normal saph & the engines used a smaller turbo if im correct in saying that...sure DOO will put that straight, & they had a better torque figure.

I was never a fan of the Rouse (sorry Benn & DOO), they just look like they have been "maxxed up"

A lot of bollocks gets touted around about standard Cossies. You'll get the facts off us Cossie owners about the standard power/times/specs - you'll only hear bollocks off us once we start on about how quick our modified cars are!!!!!!
