I owned 3 Sapphire Cosworths, the 2wd car was one of the most entertaining cars I've ever owned. Back in 89 it was a performance bargain.

yes part of me worries that i would hate driving it now....never meet your heroes again when they are 20 years older?

Has one back in the 90s before buying a Toyota Supra Twin Turbo in 1996 and has it modified to 500bhp which made it one of the fastest things on the road 20years ago.

Who would have thought 10 years ago that an oil burner would leave a fast Ford. Probably the fastest fast Ford this side of the GT40.

I think there is every danger that 20 years on it could be disappointing but we are sentimental creatures so nothing wrong with reviving fond memories :thumb:
