I think thats right, even remember mr Rainbird saying he would build a saff if he had to do it again as they were better.

i herd 3drs are ment to handle better due to roll centres and different angles in the front uprights,ie if you fit 3dr uprights to a sapph its a good upgrade...
im pretty sure the rear beam is identical apart from the roll bar mountings on the arms...

Hate to say it but I now think a tarted up saff looks better than the 3 door now. Can't believe I'm saying that but now that I have a saff in my garage beside my Merkur I like the saff more and more.

3 door is the spitter with a great fake rack but who is a little crazy and smokes too much weed.

Saff is the swallower who has a great ass and works out and keeps it clean.

My tastes have changed as I have aged. I'm sure at some point I'll import a minty 4x4 and sell my Jag. My mid life mistress...
