SUMMARY
The third generation of Ford's legendary RS Cosworth arrived in January 1990, this time with four doors, four-wheel drive and in this case 400bhp-plus.
DESCRIPTION
- Supplied new by Ford dealer Cochranes of Galashiels and first registered on 26/09/1991, this four-wheel drive four-door Sapphire Cosworth has had very little use in the past 20 years having been part of private Collections since the early 2000s
- Finished in Moondust Silver over Raven Black Recaro seats with matching black carpets throughout, it sits on a set of 15" 'Sharkstooth' alloy wheels
- Equipment includes headlamp washers, a heated rear screen, electric windows, a Ford-branded cassette stereo and separate CD player, a digital clock, heater and ventilation controls and a manually operated sunroof
- Powered by its turbocharged 2-litre inline-four which was fully rebuilt in January 2011 and further improved with a change of turbocharger to a T34. Our vendor informs us that he believes that the engine now develops 420bhp
- Supplied with its original book packs, stamped service book, invoices and previous MOTs, along with a number of spare parts (photographed) and will have a fresh MOT prior to the sale
- With its all-season four-wheel drive system, this vehicle would be a fantastic addition to any enthusiast's Collection. It's the perfect companion for daily driving, weekend cruises and classic car shows alike
