Just wandering if it's still on the road somewere. Was at knockhill few time way back when Andy Gallager owned it ?. looks like it not been regrestered since 2005 going by dvla rcords. Did someone buy this and just never put it on the road ???

mrcoss

I remember seeing what was prob andy Gallagher drifting a sierra ghia estate with all the rs kit on it back around then,it had all the skirts etc plus cossie bumper and bonnet iirc.
Would doubt this estate is alive,prob stripped for its engine way back then.

mrcoss

Yes it did have cossie white bumper side skirts and saph bonnet on it in the vid of it sliding around knockhill. Just really want to know who owns/broke it Looks to good a car to break.

mrcoss

last i heard it was up dundee/perthshire way ??? thought with a car like this there would have been build thread etc.

Being off the road for 9.5 years indicates it's likely been stripped and scrapped IMO. It's not exactly the kind of car to have been put into a collection.

What's special about it?

mrcoss

I almost bought it around 2005, put a bid in on eBay for Ł2800 and it sold for Ł2850. Havnt seen it since. Was a cool car will build one similar one day.

mrcoss

Last keeper change was 6 December 2004. Must have been on ebay around that time then ???

mrcoss

It's 4 wheel drive with a cossie engine fitted lol.

So that explains it the shell is prob long gone and the running gear resides in something else poss a genuine cossie shell from a breakers.


We have a guy in the club with a 24v estate very cool and a sleeper.

Was reading an old max power I found this week with a feature on the goony bus, awesome car real sleeper, wonder what happend to it as it was a solid car underneath. Sure the guy also had a quick Cossie mk2 rs2000.

Thats correct scrote on here used to have it. Possibly ?????

mrcoss

Owell you guys might be correct. Its most likley been stripped and the shells gone. just very unusual that no one knows were it went after it was sold would have thought it would at least have been used for a year or more before it was broken up after selling on Ebay if that was to be its fate ?????

It probably got bought for its running gear to use for an escort or something,buying a sapphire would still have cost 4-5k back then,2850 for all the cossie running gear would have been a cheap way to get the bits you need.

the original

yeah re the goonybus (not the sierra in the thread title), it's still around located in Sudbury, the chap wants to sell it so may appear on ebay sometime. he is talking about 4.5k though,( I sold it for Ł2750)
