My white saff came with a bodycolored spoiler tip, where they are normally black, something to do with the end of production for em, being a late K. Think Gracelands is the same 
So there, a rare white saff lol

Radient Red is the rarest mate with only a handful made...
Closely followed by Black, they made a few dozen of them.
All other colours are pretty common on the grand scheme of things.
I wish someone who works/worked for Ford could confirm exactly how many were made though.
Here's the best links that I found when I searched these forums mate.

Ive got all the past 2 years "RS ralley news" issued by the RSOC and there has been about 4 black sapph's for sale in that time of which only 1 is a 2wd. But saying that, the RSOC say that ford never made a black saph cossie, but they did.
My old man was on the board at ford Uk from 1987 to 1999, so he could get pretty much any info using vin numbers, and still has the contacts now to track almost anything about fords...

but it seems to have a instant hint at bad history
May have been impounded by the cops for a number of years then the owner got it back or sold off in a police auction.

The only colours listed for 92 spec cars were, smokestone blue, nuv red, white and smokestone silver, however ebony was produced along with the ULTRA rare radient red..
