How many 302R were built?a mate has one just wondered how rare they are? cheers.

 

I think there were only 6 2wd rouse's made. Don't know how many are left.

 

cool i was told 3 were built{3 door shell}

 

Doo would know

All the rouses where sapphs not 3/drs

 

sure some guy on here was buying a rouse 3rd

 

Off topic,what size tyre on a 304r was it 225/50/15

cheeRS stu

 

You can get 302R 3 doors too

I'd heard the sapphire 302R was made in very low nubers as well. Somewhere around the 10 cars?

 

Between 50-55 304-R's made. Not many left now.

However that does not make them a desirable car. I think they look well odd with the kit on. Seats look ok back spoiler looks a bit droopy side skirts look kak.

 

wasnt designed to be pretty lol, was designed to be more aero dynamic and was tested in a wind tunnel

there were 6 302r made, 304 i thought there was 64 made have never seen a 3dr rouse, though there were rouse sport 250r aswell which were dohc turbos

 

they did make 3drs trust me. just wondered how many

 

Yes they did, I'm sure there are pics on this very website somwhere.

Only a couple though and in White if i remember.....

 

id like to see them as ive never seen one

 

Pics any 1 got any

 

There is one 3 door 302 Rouse that I'm aware of and it was pictured in sep 05 fast ford, I was in that mag too as I done the 20th birthday parade lap

never heard of a 3dr rouse ,so pics please anyone

 

do you remember what the spec was mate

 

One of the guys in our local rs group had a 3dr rouse a few years back,sold it to somone in essex?

 

That's the one i think,mark hall was his name done modified concours with it

 

215 50 15, iirc

 

It didn't really have the spec mate just described the car as ultra rare and had some qoutes from the owner, its white I know that much, I have the mag at home I'll be there in about half hour, I'll try and get a good pic of the page and post it up

As far as I remember there was 1 3 door rouse specially made, it was white and used to have a detailed engine bay

Heres my 304r

 

heres my 302r only 2 made in white i thought nine where made origionally in 2wd theyre was a register on the rsoc forum and what ones were left etc.

 

Sorry but it they really do remind me of this,

thanks charlie i was looking forward to this as id never heard of a 3dr rouse,i wonder if its still out there

 

No worries I think its still about

Number 13 below!!

tyre size 225 50 15

 

Number 1 rouse is in N.Ireland..

 

that is the one his name is tim essex rsoc.goes well

 

Looking at the picture there doesn't seem much externally diffferent!

 

As Macca33 says above, I think they were 225/50x15 - certainly it mentions that size in the article I've got. I think Rouse specced Yokohama tyres as well ( possibly AVS? ).
It also mentions that they used to re-shape the wheel arch liners with a hot air gun to avoid fouling on the bigger tyres.

Happy to be corrected though

 

that just looks like a normal 3dr to me, so what makes ita rouse edtion?

 

There are now about 25 Sierra Rouse Sport 304s about and are
becoming rarer.

 

Wow, last I heard was 31, dropping off gradually. Anyone got the rear apron as mine is missing?

 

the one in the pic had yellow engine bay if i remeber correctly??

 

Yep remember that too, yellow hoses and chrome aplenty

 

Yep, just checked and it says Yokohama 225/50ZR15 tyres and 4 hours to re-shape the arch liners.

Also higher power headlamp bulbs and twin blade wipers?

 

Some interesting facts here.I also think the 3dr doesnt look any different from the outside.I love the saff cossie front seats though.

 

the 3 door was just modified after the sapphs were out, wanst converted from new so not realy a rouse imo

 

Can any owners get some decent pics of the seats? There was a 302-R at Central Day but it had seat covers on and I was hoping to get a proper look!

I'd kill for one, in either 2WD or 4WD form, think they're really interesting myself!
