Hi peeps. Just bought my latest sapphire that will be an ongoing project shall we say

My question is - Does anybody have any information on this car they could share with me ie, old owners, history, interesting stories, old photos, anything basically.

Car is a totally standard 2WD 90 G. When i say standard i mean everything even original exhaust. The interior is cloth but I have never seen another Sapphire with the same interior. The car is flint grey and whereas most 2WD cloths i have seen have all grey this one is grey centres with dark charcoal, almost flint grey in colour, outers, dark inserts in the door cards dark grey handles and dash and carpet. Was this more common than i think or was it a special edition interior for flint greys? Like i say never seen it before.

Any help with anything about this car greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I believe this interior was only ever available on flint grey late 2wd saffs.Same interior as mine and iv only ever seen late flint 2wds with these seats.The centre section is a different pattern to a 4x4 seat.Definetly not a police interior.Very rare also iv only seen 2 others besides mine.Iv fitted leather in mine for the time being as mine had fag burns in it!

Interesting that mate.

I was thinking the same along the lines of not seeing that interior before. Its a 90 registered 2WD so going on that you could be right bout it being late 2WD flinty's only that had it.

If it is rare better get a seat cover or 3 on it as the drivers seat is mint

Got in a bit late tonight for pics but can get some tomorrow if someone could upload for me ?

Ive seen a couple of these coloured trims I always thought it was just a late 2wd trim, 1 of them funnily enough was in a saph with 00 on the end of the reg it was a megenta car not a flint one tho.

Like this?





If so, mine ends in BOO interestingly...and is the original plate

I was told it was one of 5/6 press cars, all ending in BOO, and there was one of each colour. It does kind of tie up as I've seen others being G** BOO etc
