Good to see my old Cosworth again. Rod bought it from me back in 96/97. I had Mark @ MA Developments do the stage 3 work for me. Back then it had 803 injectors and a T35 turbo along with a RS500 intercooler. Great tuner and I’m pleased Rod took the car to this level. Love to see the car again and experience the power it has now!!
I’d absolutely LOVE to see this on Officially Gassed battles. A bit of old school RS really showing the new boys how it’s done. Great video and thanks to Mark and the new owner and of course you Adam.
@@seanoxborough5830 Blow up? It’s a purpose built car for fast road use and fast quarter miles/top speed. Why the hell would it ‘blow up’ ? What difference in Mark driving it on the video in that manner is it any different to a rolling race on a controlled environment and runway? It’s a car… you drive them not stare at them in a garage.
Fantastic video,legend Cossie,legend tuner and your face when Mark first floored it!!! Mark is so easy to listen too and his knowledge is outstanding,made my evening watching the best video you've put up on RUclips.
Thanks for making the trip and filming this. I thoroughly enjoyed it and pleased to see the car still on the road as it was such an iconic car. It brought back a lot of happy memories blasting around in Cosworths with mates.
Not gonna lie when that came on boost down that slip road it genuinely gave me goosebumps. What an absolutely amazing car generally love a sapphire cosworth 😍
Yes (I did my original apprenticeship on race/rally cylinder head design & development back in the 70s) and Cosworth were already the absolute “daddies” back then…
Like you Adam I remember this car from Passion Ford and Fifth Gear! Well done for making this video…Mark is a legend himself in the tuning world. Big respect to him. You’ll cherish this experience for ever 👍
Mark is a great bloke, always had a lot of time for him, not spoke to him for years but he’s a great bloke. Rod too bless him, he always wound people up on Passionford but he was legit a really nice bloke and clever too, always got on with him the times I met him. Legendary car and legendary builder and owner too. Love it
Such a epic car, great to see it again. Rod and Mark built an amazing machine. Love that Rod used to drive it hard on the road absolute legend. The look on Adams face when he was giving it some says everything, must feel mental having that much power in a Cosworth.
Best video you've done to date mate,really enjoyed it. Such a lucky man getting a go in this absolute legend of a car,more videos with Mark showcasing his skills would be fantastic to see.
Great episode. Love how natural Shead is with the full information download on the car. The secrecy surrounding these cars back in the day versus the transparency shown today all these years later is interesting. Nice one.
@@matteightytwo I thought it was Shead's own black RS500 that was demo'd to the Japanese guy when he visited. I believe the comment was he admired the torque the car had. They were discussing back and fore the difference between skyline and cossie. Maybe Rod's Sapphire was there too, but I didn't remember it that way. Cheers
@@matteightytwo good to share these memories. Was it in fast ford or performance ford mag or something else? (edit, I think it was Max Power that brought him across so maybe it was a Max Power issue that had the details of him meeting MAD).
Best video yet Adam. I remember watching this on 5th Gear as well years ago. Mark is a legend, all worth the 10 hour drive. My friend has a high power Ford FPV F6 Typhoon here in Australia and that thing has the “hand of god” sensation that few cars have, so I know how that feels!!
Was cool to see mark as he is now. We were at school together and as we grew up and got into cars I saw his progression. He used to race Karts, but was a complete nut in cars as a teenager. He went through cars faster than tyres (which were often blue from the heat) Good memories.
What an epic video. Marks a great guy and knows his stuff. Done a couple of mine in the past and always been spot on. That second gear pull past the camera sounds like nothing else. RIP Rod.
Some nostalgia there. Like you I remember the car and rod from the PassionFord days. Mark is such a legend as well, always produced the numbers. One of the cossie tuning legends. Great video as always mate love it 😎
Such fond memories of going to shows with Mark and the gang back in the day. I remember travelling up to Donnington RS Show in a convoy of 5 Cossies and at 330hp mine was the least powerful of the group.
What a car, me and a fella from work always talk about that episode of 5th gear. Glad to see the Saph still running big power and driven like it should be. Quality video Adam.👍
Wow proper trip down memory lane for me this is Adam. Not just rods car but ma developments and the passionford forum. Il never forget seeing Mark in his 500bhp 3 door at castle combe in the late 90s early 2000s smoking the rear wheels out of the last corner. I also had a F reg sapphire cosworth back then too so great memories. Thanks for the video
I remember that we came up in a convoy from marks house to castle Combe and he smoked every car there ,unfortunately he got kicked off for breaking the decibel limit several times on the first session.
Great to see Mark is doing so well, built my old Escort cossie to 550bhp back in the day. Great content btw Adam, great to see Rods car is still around :)
Thank u so much for showing us this awesome car I loved talking to Rod when at the shows and mark mark is a true genius when it comes to tuning cossie. Thanks again
Absolute weapon of a car 😍 remember it from back in the day , glad to hear the new owner is going to use it as a daily will certainly surprise a few modern day cars on the road 😉
Mark is an absolute wizard. That cars been my favourite Cossie since Rod did all the power runs down for Performance Ford mag back in the day! Love listening to how marks knowledge just flows out like it’s nothing clever clever guy!
Great video about a truly magnificent car. It was only yesterday that I eventually got around to reading about it in last months Classic Ford magazine. The look on Adam's face when Mark nailed it was absolutely priceless!! Americans love their V8s, but as ford lovers know the cosworth engine is actually derived from the engine they wholeheartedly rejected, the humble PINTO!! I would love to see this car at Santa Pod if it ever went there, it'd be the best car of the day. Much respect and thanks to Mark for the years and work he's put into the car. I'm now going to watch the 5th gear episode this car was originally on, as I didn't watch it back in the day. RIP Rod.
Awesome video! This car brings back fond memories. Glad to see back on the road. Hopefully the new owner will put it to good use, it’s what Rod would have wanted. Mark is the best tuner out there, he can drive too!
Years ago when I was in the alloy wheel business I remember speaking to Rod Tarry about a set of wheels for this very car. Although we didn't do business he seemed to be an absolute gent. Good to see this car is still around. :)
These cars are something special. They are going up in value like crazy. When I was young my best mates dad bought a 4wd one in white in the Isle of Man. I went over to visit him and he took us round the TT course in it. Wow it was an experience I will never forget as a 13 year old. Everyone was looking at us as we drove by. 🙏
Hi Adam I can remember actually seeing Mark and Rod at an event back in the day ,not sure if it was at Woodbridge or terminal velocity. The sierra hit 208 mph but on a average of the 2 runs it was recorded at 206 mph . It was only beaten by a female nurse that was driving a dodge viper .she hit 215 mph . Such a cool car and a fantastic owner .had to pleasure of meeting him on a few occasions over the years.
Can you remember which event it was at . I do remember that I entered my e38 728i for a laugh on the top speed trails and I was getting 152 mph out of the old barge 🇩🇪👍
@@Adam151082 By all accounts if I remember she’d seen a Viper and swore to own one so she saved up for about 5 years or something and was living on jacket spuds and just saving every penny of her money till she finally bought one.
So nice to see rod’s car again, had the pleasure of mark driving my old cosworth sat in the passenger seat was well, erm frightening. Normal road car indeed, used to see him down the Chinese takeaway, just poodling around in it. The fact it was so driveable in normal conditions was amazing.
Looks like my 6RS up on the ramps.I hope so, as iv been nagging him to start it! I only got my 5 RS back from him a few months ago......He is some boy, Mark. Really like your new Supra....what are you getting done to your Cosworth?
Didn't know Mark was still going in the tuning game, great to see him after so many years. Used to see him regularly when I was active in the Evo scene.
This is why we love cars, your face on the first pull, brilliant 🤣 I've love them since the 90s. Even though I've got a 400bhp MR2 Turbo now as my toy. Sierra cosworth are 👌🏾
What a genuine lad Mark is, hope you had some spare undies Adam, I'll take you for a run out in my STI one of these days, it's running 660 on methanol.
One of the best videos I have seen in my life - thanks so much everyone who has ever been involved with this amazing iconic Cossie - Wow - it's made my year!!
Passionfords legend of a car, Often met Rod & Mark down at the Middx RSOC Rugby club venue in feltham, Rod was a real character but after he sadly passed many of us that run Passionford were so pleased Carl took it over and worked with Mark to finish the car off, Enjoy Carl
That car is proper MENTAL! Plus what a pure diamond Mark was for showing you round it and taking it out and proper giving it some! I have a rough idea of how fast you were going when you give it your customary "that`ll do, that`ll do" and it was moving at a mad old rate haha!
Amazing car and such a excellent story behind this as well. I remember buying FastFord in early 1999 seeing a white sapphire Cosworth sitting on 17” Rondell alloys tuned by M.A Developments, still my favourite Ford ever. Just wish I could buy a decent one now.
2 stone cold legends in the Cosworth world and imo your best vid to date 👍❤️👌 I absolutely love big long gears on a turbo car, this is what separates Cosworths from Impreza/Evo.
MA developments was down the road from me in Marlow, next door they had Motorworx who had a dyno, I remember meeting Rod at a Ford owners dyno day. It ran 694hp on the day if I recall correctly. I still have the Mini DV tape recording somewhere...
Aww man. Can’t believe how long it is since I last saw Rod. He would be SO pleased the old girl is still going and still with Mark though. This video brings back so many good memories for me but gotta admit to a tear in my eye a bit as well.
Adam it’s nice to think that decent cossies are already worth double what they were making five years ago! (Well that’s your new garage paid for anyway buddy!) Great video, thanks for sharing 🙏👌🇬🇧
Marks a tuning god he mapped my evo to 600bhp running 2.5bar boost on my road car he told me a few stories about this car good to see he’s still making crazy powered cars
That is just unbelievable! Used to see this at the Middlesex rsoc meet - rod was a cool guy and you could see the passion he had for the car and cars in general. Good to see this still going and being used properly. It sounds unbelievable and boy does that shit! Nice one
I was lucky enough to travel withe the late, great Mark Lovell in his tuned cossie back in the day. He combined consumate pilot skills with innate RS capability So good to see the old icons still running with the pack big thanks
I remember that car when it done the run, I was also on passionford at the time so seen its developement with mark and rod, was all over the magazines of the time too.
Adam that was priceless your face when he put his foot down & I've never heard so much car jargon that bloke is a 100% legend just amazing footage 👏 🙌 😀
God bless Rod, an the passion ford day's...what a blast from the past, an as ever it's so cool to see folk like MAD still pushing the boost with for us old school ford lovers. Thanks for the vid adam/Mark an the new owner, absolute belter of a car, hope to see it back out an shown aplenty 💪💪
A mate of mine used to have an RS500 that was turned up and would hit 170. That was pretty mental and one of only 2 cars I've been in that pinned you back in the seat with G's pulling at your face. This is obviously up a level to that and I can only imagine just how frikkin mental it must be to take it out and give it some. Cheers.
On the way home from work one day and this white Sapphire Cosworth appeared on my back bumper. No worries, I'll show him - sat in my E36 M3 evo .... I casually rolled into the throttle at the National speed limit sign expecting to glance in the mirror and see it receeding, oh no.. He nearly rear ended me! The harder I tried the closer he seemed to get. Off the motorway roundabout onto a duel carriage way, I knew it was coming.. Whhhaaaappp Tsssssh, gun shot and flames and past he went. Hard on the brakes for the next roundabout, I've gained a little, he hits the big bump, left, right swings the tail and round he goes! We are now facing each other with tire smoke floating past from his locked tires, both laughing hard. That's my first meeting of Rod and this car. We pulled over and had a good chat and he took me up the road in it, unbelievable car, so fast. R.I.P Rod.
Years ao my boss bought an Escort cosworth. I did some repairs to ther gearbox. Then took it for a test drive down Cheshire lanes. When i got back and walked into the workshop i was shaking. The experience was unreal.
You can see my Sapphire Cosworth Project here fellas

Rod Millen ?
@@kermitahnenerbe3722 Rod Tarry, you can see his name on the plaque shown at 4:16
Lucky git👍👍💪🇬🇧
I had one with 675hp then sold it and bought a real monster a supra that i build and made it all wheeldrive 1648hp
I couldn’t afford the insurance for a Cossie when I was younger. Now I can afford the insurance I can’t afford the car.😂
Like the Lotus Carlton.
Don't you mean now you can afford the car you realised what a complete pile of SHIT they are, compared to what you can get now for the same money😅
Same here for the 2.8i capri
So true. I never thought of it like that.
I’d absolutely LOVE to see this on Officially Gassed battles. A bit of old school RS really showing the new boys how it’s done. Great video and thanks to Mark and the new owner and of course you Adam.
That would be cool!
Why. No need to blow up a classic
@@seanoxborough5830 Blow up? It’s a purpose built car for fast road use and fast quarter miles/top speed. Why the hell would it ‘blow up’ ? What difference in Mark driving it on the video in that manner is it any different to a rolling race on a controlled environment and runway? It’s a car… you drive them not stare at them in a garage.
I complete Agreed with that
@@seanoxborough5830 blow up lol, there clearly knowledgeable people this cars is far from thrown together, will do well on og battles for sure
Mark was the GOAT when i had a cossie 25 years ago and looks like he still is!
Same! 25 years plus ago! He did my escort, 406bhp, we used to win all the 0-60’s 😂 I’ve still got it
Marks depth of knowledge is unreal he has been involved in so many great cars over the years a legend in the building and tuning game
Rod Tarry Cosworth.! Didn’t think I’d see it again. Well done Mark for frightening the shite out of Adam. Superb video as always Adam ❤
The Sierra was frightening at 30MPH as it has a 1 star crash rating even with a cage i would never get in it.
That car is a blast from the past. Fair play Adam for the long drive. Loved the video. Keep up the hard work.
Fantastic video,legend Cossie,legend tuner and your face when Mark first floored it!!! Mark is so easy to listen too and his knowledge is outstanding,made my evening watching the best video you've put up on RUclips.

Tbf the saff took off like a scalded cat on wood flooring lol
Your face when he floored it is one of the best laughs I've had! Brilliant
😂
Buy some new boxer shorts before you drive home Ad. Welm done!
Not gonna lie when that came on boost down that slip road it genuinely gave me goosebumps. What an absolutely amazing car generally love a sapphire cosworth 😍
Same! I love how it's just as happy as a daily driver. What a testament to the tuner/builder.
haha yeah I think Adam needed a new pair of pants after that
It’s no wonder that Cosworth produced the most powerful formula one engines for so many years! Great British company 👏👌🇬🇧
Couldn't agree more!
And the V12 in the Valkyrie 😎
@@P1Fanatic and GMA t50/t50s and T33
Insane engine builders. They did so much head work on other companies engines also
Yes (I did my original apprenticeship on race/rally cylinder head design & development back in the 70s) and Cosworth were already the absolute “daddies” back then…

I remember this car was demod to the guy from Top Secret, Nagata, had to be the 90s, and the spec list was pretty empty, no secrets given away
@@matteightytwo I thought it was Shead's own black RS500 that was demo'd to the Japanese guy when he visited. I believe the comment was he admired the torque the car had. They were discussing back and fore the difference between skyline and cossie. Maybe Rod's Sapphire was there too, but I didn't remember it that way. Cheers
@@stevenross-watt8640 the torque was definitely mentioned but I'm sure it was a white car. Was a long time ago though

Don't often get the feel of how fast a car is through a camera but this looked BONKERS fast !!!
Best video yet Adam. I remember watching this on 5th Gear as well years ago. Mark is a legend, all worth the 10 hour drive. My friend has a high power Ford FPV F6 Typhoon here in Australia and that thing has the “hand of god” sensation that few cars have, so I know how that feels!!

Mark is a genius. I remember seeing Rod and his Cossie at the Reading car meet back in the day !

Amazing car, thank you so much to the owner for sharing this piece of history. Makes me miss my Saff so much, lucky to own one
That was Mega, smiles for miles. A ride with Mr Cosworth Mark is legend that car is a weapon!!! Loved it.👍💪
Legend car, inspirational !!! Nothing like that fast Cosworth feeling. People just don’t understand.
Definitely!!! 👍🏼
I thought the guy from down Bristol with the 755hp escort cossie on LLF had a weapon but this is even better.
Man that Escort is lethal....
Such fond memories of going to shows with Mark and the gang back in the day. I remember travelling up to Donnington RS Show in a convoy of 5 Cossies and at 330hp mine was the least powerful of the group.

Looks like my 6RS up on the ramps.I hope so, as iv been nagging him to start it!

Marks a tuning god he mapped my evo to 600bhp running 2.5bar boost on my road car he told me a few stories about this car good to see he’s still making crazy powered cars
I love the good old fashioned vented whined sunroof!! Used to love using that little handle instead of a button ❤
That is just unbelievable! Used to see this at the Middlesex rsoc meet - rod was a cool guy and you could see the passion he had for the car and cars in general.
Good to see this still going and being used properly. It sounds unbelievable and boy does that shit! Nice one
It isn't often you see Adam gobsmacked! that power when he done the send was just awesome!!
The panic/redness and smile on your face says it all !! 😉👍🏴
The breath Mark takes at 19:22, brilliant cause he knows what’s coming, great tuner
I was lucky enough to travel withe the late, great Mark Lovell in his tuned cossie back in the day. He combined consumate pilot skills with innate RS capability So good to see the old icons still running with the pack big thanks
I remember that car when it done the run, I was also on passionford at the time so seen its developement with mark and rod, was all over the magazines of the time too.
Adam that was priceless your face when he put his foot down & I've never heard so much car jargon that bloke is a 100% legend just amazing footage 👏 🙌 😀
God bless Rod, an the passion ford day's...what a blast from the past, an as ever it's so cool to see folk like MAD still pushing the boost with for us old school ford lovers.
Thanks for the vid adam/Mark an the new owner, absolute belter of a car, hope to see it back out an shown aplenty 💪💪
19:26 poo came out and rightly so 😂
A mate of mine used to have an RS500 that was turned up and would hit 170. That was pretty mental and one of only 2 cars I've been in that pinned you back in the seat with G's pulling at your face.
This is obviously up a level to that and I can only imagine just how frikkin mental it must be to take it out and give it some.
Cheers.
On the way home from work one day and this white Sapphire Cosworth appeared on my back bumper. No worries, I'll show him - sat in my E36 M3 evo .... I casually rolled into the throttle at the National speed limit sign expecting to glance in the mirror and see it receeding, oh no.. He nearly rear ended me! The harder I tried the closer he seemed to get. Off the motorway roundabout onto a duel carriage way, I knew it was coming.. Whhhaaaappp Tsssssh, gun shot and flames and past he went. Hard on the brakes for the next roundabout, I've gained a little, he hits the big bump, left, right swings the tail and round he goes! We are now facing each other with tire smoke floating past from his locked tires, both laughing hard. That's my first meeting of Rod and this car. We pulled over and had a good chat and he took me up the road in it, unbelievable car, so fast. R.I.P Rod.
Years ao my boss bought an Escort cosworth. I did some repairs to ther gearbox. Then took it for a test drive down Cheshire lanes. When i got back and walked into the workshop i was shaking. The experience was unreal.
What a humble guy who respects the car as it should be! And that sound on boost wowowow👌👌👌👌👌
Amazing engineering gone into that 👏 I've watched the top speed video on fith gear numerous times what a legend of a car
Icon of a car! Good to see she’s still going! Top draw video as always Adam! Top work mate.. 👍🏽😎
