Did it come from the factory like this or its a very nice conversion?

I read somewhere that only very few models came out like this, when they changed the 3dr with the saph...

Does anyone know if its true or not? Cause if its true this must be one of the rarest cossies ever....

i see one when i was in spain, had to look twice

The Gravedigger

Didn't come off the production line as Cossies though, just a 3 door with the new front, Europe-only.

Do you really think Ford would sell a car looking like that does where the front arch extension meets the front bumper?

foreigneRS

it's just a mk2 3 door that was available on the continent, but not in uk. not in cossie version, but obviously all mk2 stuff will fit, including 4 door cosworth front end.

does look proper bo, and i would reshell my sapph into one if i didn't happen to have an estate kicking around.

The Gravedigger

Forget the estate, but a mk2 3 door

Oranoco

I actually quite like it

Don't think it would look half as good with the standard headlamps though

You can spot if its a mk2 or a Mk1 with the saff front grafted on by looking at the fuel filler

If it has a flap its a mk2 if its just a cap then its a Mk1 that been modded

just some info on the particular car. Its a 200 block which runs a comp ratio of more than 9:1, HKS T51R KAI on pectel and was dynoed 713 hp and 72 kg torgue at the wheels on 2.3 bar. On 2.5 it demolished the tranny and now it runs 4wd with a Quafie straight cut box....

in its old spec (around 700 bhp at the crank) on street tires had a best 1.4 mile in 12.5/199 kmh and it was spinning its wheels for the whole quarter mile distance in all four gears...

JohnnyB

Actually you are all wrong

There was 1 mk2 3dr Cossie built in 1991 for the director of the ford plant in Genk. It was a dark metallic green with green leather trim. 4wd with early type saph wheels.The car was only used at a couple of shows as they couldn't get type approval for it. I saw the car while working there in 2000, and it was just sat in the corner of an outbuilding, having covered less than 100 miles. A couple of lads who were working there at the time stole the head and front seats from it i believe. I've got some piccies somewhere that i'll put up. I spoke to one of the managers at the plant about the car and he said they couldn't sell it because of the type approval issues and that it would probably be crushed

I quite like the look of those.

Still prefer the RS500 front though personally.
