I was about 14 waiting with my friends to be picked up by one of our parents, we were kind of in an industrial area and this thing came rumbling along, the guy must have seen 3 of us with our jaws open in awe, and he went round this roundabout got the backend out, and I just remember the noise, and this monster going sideways up the road with fire coming out of the exhaust.

Awesome car! Always dreamed of having one, one day, sadly hasn't happened as yet. Hopefully I might have the opportunity to own one. My family were Ford mad during my youth, from uncles to my brothers, they all had Ford Sierras, all the exact same colour (Azur Blue I think) 2.0 Ghia Automatic, we collectively had around 8 of the exact same cars at one time. At parties, our relatives thought we were mad. 😂

Thanks for the comment, it is good to know you like the Cosworth - I hope you get one at some point in the future... if you do though, be ready for some work! Nothing wrong with a 'Ford family', it sounds to me your family gatherings sound more like a Ford show than anything else... very cool! Thanks for watching. Hope you stay tuned to see the progress with my car.

Thanks for the comment and for sharing some of your car history - you've had some cracking cars! Thanks also for the sub and for staying tuned, I will feature an update soon... it has not been cheap! As for the Vauxhalls, I do not rule anything out but Cavaliers are rare as hen's teeth these days! Thanks for watching.

Great project car, oil catch can filling up? Excessive crankcase pressure, blocked breather or worn piston rings. Empty the can and monitor how quickly it fills up. I had use of a customers one for a month great car I was so impressed I went out and bought an 8 year old urquattro- I regret ever selling it!

Thanks for the comment Richard, I really appreciate your thoughts on the car. Similar to you I felt the Sapphire Cosworths (which are my favourite too) were too expensive and that I would never own one... but I managed to get one and I am certain you will as well. Good luck with buying your car one day and, in the meantime, please do stay tuned to the Channel and follow the progress with my Cosworth.

Good video, fantastic car, great price.

Cheers, looking forward to all the updates! Had our Saph from new (92) only covered 39k miles. Got bits to keep up with, some quite simple bits, but are challenging with limited ramp time at the garage. Biggest problem is not the mileage of parts, but the age! Gators especially. We recently tried to replace some on the front driveshafts, but are too small. Only put them on to attend a show, but all has to come apart again to fit correctly fitting gators.. Small things, but a right pain. All the best mate 👍👍

I genuinely thought the price was going to start with a 2! Great value in my opinion, not a very common colour can’t say I’ve seen many moondust examples. I did check the mot history and that mileage 😱 i think you have done extremely well here :)

@@cornishcarcollectors Yes, BWC is a Chelmsford registration number, I’m 95% sure it is ex Ford Motor Company originally, I worked at a Ford dealer in my teens, the Sales Director ran J701BWC as his company car for a while (a Granada Ghia), I remember consecutive plate cars lined up at ADT Auctions Blackbushe for sale. Whilst I don’t remember your car specifically, there were numerous Cosworths there, a lot were bought by Police buyers. Well worth enquiring further.

For the price you paid for a 4x4 Cosworth you definitely robbed them of that car cracking price I must say as its the cheapest one I've come across good luck and if you're ever wanting to sell get in touch as I'd be interested

@@cornishcarcollectors no probs. love restoring stuff meself. i'm a jag man but me mate had a cozi the same as yours and wished he never sold it.get sorted mate. they fetch big money now.

Been a while since I've sat in one but it looks like a 2.5 bar Racetech gauge, if so then it looked like it built 1.5 bar of boost on that one acceleration run, if it's meant to be anything much over 300hp I'd suspect that the intercooler is not standard (RS500 version was a popular mod). That engine in standard tune is boring, there is an optimum level of tuning whereby it drives and runs as calmly as a factory motor but will keep up with fast bikes when you want to, it appears the previous owner was aiming for that level of tune. Friends and family had a string of XR4x4 Turbo Technics conversions done back in the day, and a couple of Cosworths for weekend fun, I remember many happy trips to Severn Valley Motorsport who were one of the go to garages back then. Can't wait for you to get that timing belt cover back on, stresses me out just thinking about it 🤣.

What a fantastic project, I always preferred the understated 4 door cosworth. My parents lived in Devon and in the late 90's a local farmers son had a " magenta?" One and when clean ' obviously rare in North devon😇" it looked a million dollars.
