As you like your Fords, i'm sure i've heard a rumour that there was a 2/3dr Sierra Sapphire Cosworth? Is this true, or am I just imagining things?
I have a funny feeling that they may have been for a non- UK market, but can you confirm?

I have never seen or heard of a 3 door saph, simple as iirc there was no such bodystyle ever produced, the saph beeing a 4 door saloon for all of its prodction run
there ofcorse was the 3 door/rs5oo sierra, which where 3 door, but thats it

Nah, it wasn't a normal Sierra, it was definitely a Saph. I could swear that they were very very rare and i'm sure I saw a picture of a black one (which again is quite rare for a Sapphire Cossie)

The only 3 doors were the RS500 and RS ones I think Google'd it and nothing's came up about a 3 door saph. Sounds interesting though.

I'm sure that if you ask on Passionford or RSOC, someone will be able to confirm it
