No longer have this, SIERRA RS COSWORTH ROUSE SPORT 304-R
prepared by my BTCC hero ANDY ROUSE..sold it at start of recession when they made 30+ people redundant at my work.
I managed to keep my job and still there today BUT it was touch and go if we went under!
1 of only 25 left today out of 67..mine was 1 of only a handfull with the cloth trim according to RSOC..drove like a dream and turbo started spinning up from 1800rpm with max power around 5700rpm so no need to rev the **** out of it!

AGREED!
my 1st cosworth was a 1987 moonstone 3dr in mint condition,i purchased that from adam james performance cars in wednesbury in 1997 for £9,500..it was my pride and joy. lol used to put my go-kart in the back and to take over birmingham wheels, i used to get some funny looks with my kart hanging out the tailgate
i used to finish a session in my kart and get back in the cos and it felt like a rolls royce even though it was running on koni's all round lol i sold that to buy a 3.9 classic range rover

the build plaque is missing from drivers side door post and the plaque off cam cover is missing which looks like this
from reading that its had rouse parts fitted to a normal saph..the turbo and engine management where different to a std saph and price is waay to low

thats what i thought too
if you look a bit further down, theres a couple over the 15k point.but they are just modified, not a Rouse.
you want to see how much a 3dr 302-R fetches
there was a cracking moonstone blue rs500 on ebay a few weeks ago
it was stunning! £65k though
i always wanted the rs500 i got to help tune 1 and take it for a test drive way too much turbo lag in std form though without the other 4 injectors wired up and boost wound up etc...the man himself at work in brum

Just a Hobby i had BEFORE they changed the friggin laws. damn polititions!
I was thinking of buying a Hoyt compound bow (and all the accessories) off a friend of a friend but not sure if the draw weight can be adjusted. It's either that or a TR7

Most compounds can be adjusted within a set range, friends browning compound can be adjusted over a 10lb range.
I prefer my recurve!!!

I did look at some recurves but this particular sale will be a bargain of a bargain, if I can adjust to suit me. The one bonus point at the moment is that our draw length is the same.

That saves adjusting that then...!!!
I prefer the recurve as it is lighter than a compound and I can shoot all day with feeling like my arm is gonna fall off at the end of it!

Had a TR7 meself. Blow their head gaskets more than a Rangey. Great fun motors though and lots of underpigeon style mods you can do. Hope your handy with a mig welder though!

I had one many moons ago and loved it. Fantastic little car. Never had a head gasket issue though, thankfully. Not good at any welding but got all sorts of 'men who can' , for all sorts of issues. Which is why I would even consider getting another one. Just can't decide whether to go for the DHC or the FHC with full sunroof.
I know nothing of TR7's or most of Triumphs other stuff tbh....So I chose the Bow!BTW love how the bow got discussed but no comments ref TR7. I was expecting some damning comments on that one

All I can say is that anyone who appreciates the foibles and peculiarities of LR/RR would appreciate those same features in Triumphs
