Default Top Gear?

Anyone know whether or not Top Gear featured the Sapphire Cosworth back in the day?

If so anyone know where I can get it or help me out with a copy?

Cheers

I do know that on episode 2 of series 1 of the revamped Top Gear (2002) they celebrated the launch of the RS Focus by driving pretty much every model of RS ever on the track.

Sadly I haven't seen it though and am having trouble downloading it.

Bloody shame...Wilson raved about it!

If I recall correctly the opening scene was QW in a graphite 2wd at a banked circuit (?). Camera switches to speedo as he accelerates between 110mph and 120/130mph

Hopefully someone has it

Nice one JezSierra, looking forward to seeing it. When you post it, my personal preference is good quality, large file. Quality shouldn't be comprimsed on this!

Out of curiosity, where did you find it?

I have seen and got The Story of the Sierra Cosworth. It's nothing to do with Top Gear. It's a documentary the style of which you used to fall asleep to back at school. It's obviously very old and shows it's age, interesting only to the enthusiasts. It primarily concentrates on the Sierra rather than Saff, though at the end there is a very odd kinda long advert for the Saff.
