I'll second that one Andy

My eldest had a 91 Saphire with a 2l pinto but I guess that was one of the older models sitting in the stockyard until it was finally registered

Remember that one well .... Ripped the gearbox tail stock in half when the prop donut let go .... Told him it needed replacing, did he listen

By the 90's they were selling most cars , it would be unusual for a 2.0 to be old stock. But who knows.

The first DOHC's came in early 89 an pre-date the facelift. I nearly bought one in 94 but did not have enough £££ ..
