My beast

Here’s mine from a local show on Sunday.

Yeah, originality is the order of the day.

I haven’t found much on here, but I’m sitting on a brand new set of genuine Trophy 182 spec Sachs front and rear dampers. Just wondering if anyone has upgraded their non Trophy 182’s to full Trophy suspension? If so, can anyone advise if everything is just a direct bolt on replacement...

Did this go in the end?

Yes, it's a little like Ford imperial blue. A bigger to match, but possible. It would need a top end spray shop though. A cheap job would just cost more in the long run.

Good luck Tony. It's probably came too soon for me (still), but I can vouch that it'll be a good one.

Yeah, optical's is stunning. You're right though, I'll only pay Trophy money for a Trophy.

£5,500 with 80,000 miles. I will happily swap you...if you also leave an envelope with £10,000 in the glove box, haha! Here's my baby a few days ago...

I didn't know if the Apex one was still for sale. The fact that it is tells you that it is around £1k (at least) overpriced. It's not exactly a low miler either. I'll have a hefty budget and the Apex one is certainly affordable to me, but I'm not in the game of having the wool pulled over my...

I'll be coming into the market for a PB one in the next couple of months, so if any of you are thinking about selling around that time then please let me know.

I'd say so, unless it's the one that Apex are selling at £5.5k despite it not being particularly low in miles.

Tell your friend that I'll be interested if he ever wants to sell it. I've seen it a few times in North Shields.

I can't find that one.

Haha! Deal! Only joking. I'll enjoy it and only an offer out of this world would tempt me to sell. Here's hoping for a long, hot summer and autumn to enjoy it.

Following my post, I've had several PM's from people wanting to buy my Cossie. To save replying individually, I'll just reply on here. Strictly, it's not for sale, but I guess everything in life has a price/value. With this in mind, although I'm not encouraging any offers, I have had way too...

I'll keep a look out for any that come up on the market then. Hopefully a decent one comes to light.

What a sad end for such a great car. Sadly, Cossie's did attract some right wrong 'uns in their time. He'd have been better off just taking ownership of it and sitting on it for a few years. Silly lad.

I'm thinking along the lines of seeing pictures of it on RS forums. Like I say, I could be off the mark though.

I've seen them go over £100k. There's one priced at £120k at the moment and for it being exceptionally low in miles there's a good chance they'll get the full asking price.

That Cossie looks familiar. Saying that, it may well just be a similar reg to another one I've seen. They're a great experience. Nothing comes close out of the modern cars. I like their rawness and the fact that it doesn't have half the driver aids modern cars have. Still, they were well specced...

Performance wise it's standard power (204bhp). However, I've added some newer bits off its younger 4x4 brother, consisting of; 4x4 bonnet vents (rwd ones didn't have them. Stupid considering the heat the turbo generates), 4x4 coolant tank (a common replacement that even the concours lads do)...

Fingers crossed mine hasn't caused me too many problems...they are Ford's at the end of the day so you never know haha.

Yeah, the rear wheel drive Sapphire came out in the summer of 1988, so E and F platers were the early ones.

I don't drive her anywhere near as much as I should, and hardly take any pics of her, but here's my Sierra Cosworth after having her 1st wash of the year...

I presume this has sold a long time ago?

Maybe not a straight swap, haha! It's going soon though. Just a few things to put on it before the for sale ad comes along.

When you put it like that, I see where you're coming from. It's a difficult choice between petrol blue and liquid yellow, mind.

The general opinions I've heard suggests that despite being slightly more "common", liquid yellow ones command higher prices than petrol blue. Any truth in this? I did see a petrol blue go for £2500 in December/January, and I haven't seen a liquid yellow one down at that price - ever.
