whats happening guys, hope you are all good. hope you like the vid, say hello on my post on insta xxx

[@nurburgringuk]

Great video Becky, this car reminds me of my YOOF :-)

[@josephtaylor3769]

Also the Vauxhall cavalier turbo was faster as standard. The C20LET and C20XE was also tuned by Cosworth try a cavalierTurbo 👍

[@craigwright6647]

About time your drove a cossie Becky love my old school Ford’s thanks

[@alistairwalker2850]

As Clarkson would call this car, the “Jean Claude Van Damme-inator”

[@dominickthornburghakaTRG]

You didn't stop grinning the whole video. 😆 Must have been fun.

[@romanoguttadauro9563]

Being one of those 50 something guys lol its great to see younger generations embracing what we idolized back in the day and still today Great Video Keep them coming Magic

[@ElishaMukumba]

That smile on your face while driving. That’s what it’s all about really. I like that whoosh from the turbo 😍😍

[@stevesmith640]

Speaking as a 90's boy racer, the cosworth was a brilliant car. Trouble was there was a lot of them about. So instead of buying one I bought a Lancia Delta Integrale. What a special car that was. Wish I still had it as now worth a fortune. If you've not driven one on your channel, i highly recommended it

[@kells77]

Respect for the intergrale what a car

[@jonnygti]

I’m abit younger than you, I couldn’t drive until 2001, anyway my older sister had boyfriends with these old fords(not old back then I guess). I remember being in the back of an XR4 doing 130-140, down the dual carriageway quite often when I begged my sister to come out with them. Ahh those were the days of no speed cameras etc 😁😂

[@laitha3679]

Jonathan ha ha crazy times. I had mates too with these death traps. Life was a like a roulette wheel when you got into one of those cars back then.👍

[@44dan5]

Delta was a car to be hold someone at my work has a yellow one. It’s a left hooker. Did they do them in right? Friend had a pulsar gtir that’s what I wanted. Another friend had a Mitsubishi twin turbo GTO, I asked how much is insurance he said 700, I said not bad he said a month!

[@jonnygti]

@@laitha3679 yeah absolutely lol. I didn’t feel safe at all, I think that’s what made it so fun, 100mph seemed like 150mph😂😁

[@Husasmith]

To think that you came to Ireland to drive a Cosworth that's like an Irish man going to England and having his first pint of Guinness!

I had 5 sapphire Cosworths, I still have one now, awesome cars

[@leestannard3345]

Was my first car when I was 20, insurance was mental. Needed alarm, immobiliser and Tracker system fitted. Had so much fun in that car, back when people didn’t have dash cams fitted and there were hardly any sped cameras around.

[@ianhoyle8459]

Speaking as a fifty year old the early nineties was a great time. Spender was envied for his Sapphire; however freshly broken in GT, GTE, GTi, XR etc was ample to aspire to and sports bikes were becoming arguably what they are today 👍

[@michael5089]

Yes Ian!! Spender!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@chunkylove76]

One of the best reviews I’ve seen, the way you describe the way it makes you feel is spot on don’t think many youngsters get it nowadays 👍👍

[@Caelum_NLD]

Never got a Cossy, but I owned 2 Sierras (an 89 and a 91, both sedans, or Sapphyres on the other side of the pond) and it is the best car I ever driven. Thank you for describing the driving feeling. Helps me remember it again how it felt driving it. The 89 lacked power steering but it didn't need it at all. I really want one again, but first I need more money to bd able to take care of it properly.

[@dunc71]

All Sierra's are sedans.. or saloon in UK, basically meaning the engine, diver and luggage all have separate compartments. Compared to a hatchback or estate. Sapphire was just a high end version of the Sierra.

[@iantaylor620]

I can hands down say I've never driven a car older than me!! Glad you liked the old timer. Great content as always. It's nice to see the young ones enjoying the older cars.

[@shaunmac82]

I enjoyed your words as much as I enjoyed hearing the Cosworth tuned engine, thank you.

[@levelcrossing150]

A great video! Hi Becky, You are getting the attention off the older guys because we were 30 years younger when these cars were being built and we loved them! Get out in some more classic Fords and we will love it! In it's day this car was just what the young family man who liked fast Fords really wanted! The small rear spoiler was just right being nice and subtle and not boy racerish!

[@mikep1212]

Hitting me in the feels with these fast ford nostalgia videos Becky. series 1 RS turbo next? :D

[@alistairwalker2850]

What about a Capri 2.8 Injection? Doesn’t get much more 80s Britain than that

[@NUBBY39]

@Chris Escort Cosworth is more of a 90s car because the Escort was 4X4 base on a shorten floor plane of the 4x4 Sierra Sapphire Cosworth which came out in the 90s.

[@NUBBY39]

@Chris I only knew it because I use to work for a Ford dealership who was a main R.S. dealer back in those days when those cars was new ,use to drive to work in my own Series 1 Escort R.S.Turbo, drive different R.S cars all day then go home in my R.S at the end of the day ,you cant beat a R.S Ford for fun 👍👍

[@NUBBY39]

@Chris Had two Cortina 1600E 's one time, would like one now, had XR3i XR2i ,TBH I've had quite a few RS/XR Fords over the years especially whilst I was working at Fords ,well why not cheap parts and service lol , thing is now there all too expensive to buy and I would be too scared to leave one anywhere or drive it because too many dickheads about with no respect.

[@NUBBY39]

@Chris I would love a big garage to put classics in ,I'd be happy to have one or even a big driveway to park my families cars , but where live in London now its bit awkward so me and the Mrs and my sons have to park our cars on the road as near to our house as possible .

[@MarkReading]

I loved mine. Had a 4x4 Sapphire Cosworth RS in silver with 300bhp and it was epic. If only I had kept it...... How many of us older generation have said those words. I now own a 4Motion mkiv Golf that I've owned for nearly 17yrs and enjoy this just like I did the Cossie.

[@roberteachus1563]

The cozzy and that alarm brings back so many memories.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

I used to have a 3dr cossy, wish I kept it, sold it for 7k :(

[@rogerjsy]

i know the feeling..i had a flint grey saff cossie i bought in 2000 for 5k it was 380bhp locally known as ''the fast one'' ..sold it in 2013 for what I paid for it!! ..got offered it back a couple of yrs ago by the guy who bought it from me for 15k ! completely resprayed and rebuilt the engine now over 400bhp .. I said no.. not because I couldn't afford it but because I didn't want to turn back time I'm 52 now and have moved on, I don't miss it but at the time I loved that car!

This video totally rocks! I am a lady in the states who has one of the Sierra/Merkur. These videos, seeing another lady love a proper car, are inspiring. Thank you for this review of the cossi Sapphire

[@alanbellwood3902]

Brings a smile to my face. RS500 Mike Smith racing touring cars in the 80's. Jimmy McCrae in a Saphire Cosworth and later Colin. Spender (Jimmy Nail) driving one as his Police car. Legendary and bulletproof in standard form.

[@joedaman8436]

There weren't many cars that could keep up with a Cossie back in the day, beast of a car, I'd have one now if I could afford it 👌🔥

[@HlspwnsWorld]

Ah the Clifford alarm, I had the blackjax immobiliser with mine. Loved the auto window close on arming the alarm. It was a big thing back then

When car reviewers talk about how retro the interior looks and you have no idea what they mean because you've never owned a new car or hardly even driven one.

Hi Becky ive got a 1988 ford sierra ghia estate that is now sporting the full cosworth body kit ,its all got the full cosworth ybt turbo cosworth running gear with 400 bhp . Ive taken the old girl to ireland many times as my family is from monaghan . Ive been going to retro stock at mondello park for the last 6 years .its great to see you blatting around the lanes in cork in a proper car at last . Keep up the good work loving the irish content 🇨🇮 theres no skool like the old skool .keep it lit 👍

[@rhysbrennan-killick5385]

Such a good looking car even now. Sounds great too. Cosworth engines have always sounded great imo. Would love to see a Escort RS Cosworth on your channel

[@16valvevaux37]

I feel so pressured now to drive a eco modern car with all the mod cons. Vids like this keep me inspired to drive what I class as a cool car. 👍

[@highwireman2012]

My god father had one of these, in moonstone blue/grey. Like that this one still has its orange indicators as well, vast majority had them swapped out for clear ones. Nice car, I prefer it over the older hatchback, it was more subtle.

[@Stedexbro]

Sound of the dump valve during this is quality, what a motor that is

[@xMilesxHighxClubx]

Hi. I had a grey one.. Miss it. It was a 2L GLE tho, but tweaked, low & fast for NA. Miss it. Nice vid & wheels.

[@PavltheRobot]

I would hate to drive in the UK, having such a narrow roads must be a nightmare. Very lovely video though, thanks for covering this wonderful car.

[@danielball7595]

What a fantastic video, not seen your channel before just found you lol. People were definitely right to say get your hands on a proper ford and this is one of the best you've chosen. The Cosworth name is legendary and stirs memory's of Sierras and Escorts as well as words like Cossie and whale tail. My old 1991 Sierra Sapphire went to Ireland when I sold her 2 years ago somewhere near Belfast. Now you need to get your hands on and drive the best car ford ever made which is the legendary ford Capri! It's a shame you don't live over in England near the Midlands otherwise I would let you take one of my Capri collection out for a spin. ;) x

[@chrisgraham1496]

Iv just done the nc500 in octavia vrs 2011 estate from Newcastle 1200 miles trip and my plans are for a trip around Ireland next keep up the great vids 👍

[@henkgreven8090]

I've had a white sapphire in the late 90's. Looked exactly the same as this one. Only difference was that mine had a 'normal' 2.0i engine in it. Cosworth was already out of my financial reach back then. (still is...🤫) But had a blast driving this car.

[@woooster17]

Wanted a Cossie in the mid 90s.. but insurance was ridiculous, so bought an S2 RST.. Would love a (3 door) Cossie now.. but prices have gone ridiculous.. so have to settle for my Mk2 Focus RS..

[@sammygeorge9370]

Awesome video! You really know your stuff.. my dad was Irish and drove a Sierra Sapphire Cosworth until he died 7 years ago.. I've tried tracking it through the DVLA but never had any luck. Would love to own one, they're soo rare now

[@HalfdeadRider]

For us slightly older guy's it was obvious it was a two wheel drive version, no vents on the bonnet like the 4x4 (and no 4x4 badge). Similar to the car that those wheels come from otherwise, the Series 2 Escort RS Turbo.

[@matthewgodwin3050]

This takes me right back to the Blackbird Leys Estate on every Saturday night in the early 90s. If you don't know what I mean, you obviously weren't there. What a great car.

A great era with some fantastic cars and no speed cameras. Sadly joy riders started targeting hot hatches and performance saloons/coupes and insurance premiums went through the roof.

IIRC the Cossie was the most successful touring car ever and one of the most successful race car platforms ever with it. For a few years the podiums were near guaranteed to have a Sierra or Escort Cosworth at the top spots. Again IIRC in touring cars anyway in over 80% of all races entered the Cossie won.

[@russellmuir1690]

With a few mods can still keep up with fast cars the now. Always a hot car can't wait for a twin cam

[@redsidebiker]

The bodykit did just about enough to keep it on the floor. Just ask South Wales Police. They had one dekitted and crashed it in a short amount of time. The Saff generated more natural downforce, so needed less wing. I have 4 Sierras, all hatches, all had that shape steering wheel fitted. Best car steering wheel I ever had (ebay bargain!). Best steering wheel is my DAF CF!
