Colours not very clear.

Index is something like K238ACE which is weird as its a 2wd car looking at the way it donuts.

Also check out the trailer which shows the sapph briefly:

Pretty crap film to be honest, only bought it to see the cossie!

the cossie in here that was on eastenders was a saff

it was steve b's car

theres probably loads of obscure 80-90's shows with cossies in them, not many with a regular occurance though

theres also that film with a young jude law in it, thats got a bit of saff footage in it, but the name of it escapes me right now

Spenders' Cosworths were a 2wd Sapphire G325 WVW, 4x4 Sapphire H674 LAR and a 4x4 Sapphire K95 BRX. First one was pinched and burned out around the Toon.

But let's be honest he was just an ugly bastard in a nice car
