Cosworth 304R

Hello.

I own Nş 91 Rouse Sport 304R.

It's in Portugal and it's the only LHD ever made by Andy.

My info is that 67 Rouse Sport were made, 6 were 2wd 302R and 61 were 4wd 304R, but I've heard that there were also 2 Sappphire 3 door in White that were also made by Andy, but I don't know if they are Genuine, or if they are custom buited cars....

Regards

Jorge

Ł15k for a Sierra?

A lot of money in them days

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

15k for a standard sierra whic you can pick up for couple hundred quid, or 22k for the rouse model not even cosworth

Cossy Mike

iTrader: (4)

I was just on about this today base price for the Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 was between Ł24995-Ł29995.

How much was that in them days? it's like Ł30+ today!!

Thats not a rouse tough is it

massivewangers

iTrader: (1)

That's really interesting!

I never knew about those. Not a looker though I must say.

Any reason why it's a fair chunk slower than a proper Cosworth? As power is comparible obviously. Is it down to gearing or something perhaps?

What was the max speed?

Also, any idea how the CR was dropped on it?

combi van man

i remember it too,thought it looked shit tho as it had crap wheels on,stupid grill ,tinted windows,etc etc,abit chaved up to me.if it so rare it wants to be standed imo

Jay,

first cossie i ever driven was a 304r ! they are rather nice

jason_nike

Ebony Black is another colour they had.

Rouse`s do drive so different to my others

Paddy

The old man took a 5 door Rouse Sierra in p/ex about 13/14 years ago. It had Rouse seats, external kit, cossie engine and certification from Andy Rouse. It was white and sat on the old style white compomotives.

It was at the time no-one could get insured on cossies so it was stuck down an auction in Shoreham

I would love to know if anyone has any idea where it is now?? I've asked about this before over the years but no luck.

Mike1

Can you tell me what issue of Fast Ford(?) that was in please?

DANNY-B

I know of at least 3 white Rouse 302-R's. Billy Thompson in sunderland had one with around 40k on the clocks which he sold 3 or 4 years back for 9k, theres a rough looking one on piston heads at the moment for sale and theres that one up above that RSLUBBY has kindly shown us.

JayCC

This is why i never moan about people dragging up old threads, good read!

Could do with all the pics being put back on though!

Who is "doo"??

RSLUBBY

iTrader: (19)

jason_nike

Bit of work could possibly be really good.
Needs front splitter, std suspension and exhaust
Cheap price too

4k tops in this current climate needs a farvamount of money thrown at it to make it original again + I doubt it'll have any original documentation to go with it

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Its been on ph for ages that.Its cheap enough too.

Cossy Mike

iTrader: (4)

I know someone who has been to see it and he said it's horrific underneath.

It's had a lot of welding done, no history and the fuel pipes have been damaged and repaired with rubber pipe

fordrs2005

iTrader: (4)

sorry but this really annoys me "Its cheap enough too"

if a car is too cheap it would have been sold on the day it was advertised

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Not many people have plenty of money these days and cossies done exactly sell like hot cakes now do they.

fordrs2005

iTrader: (4)

people seem to think this , but its only over priced shite thats not selling imo

good cossies thats priced correctly are still selling with in first couple of days advertised

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Yeh i know what you mean there mate.Some people think there cars are minter than they are.

jason_nike

Doesnt sound good then.
Wonder what lurks under the sideskirts too
Start running then methinks

Marvin_hagler_

a car can be too cheap and put people off with say a crap ad and pics or write up with daft info or speeling mistakes.

if its cheap and you know it then buy it and use it for a bit and clean it up etc and sell it for more.

i think theres not many rouses because they look dodgy and that includes the seats.

good job rouse never did escorts is all i'll say hahaha
