Vicki bought her beloved Saph Cossie three years ago as a non-runner, and has since spent time rebuilding it back up to spec. “There were a number of things that weren’t quite right; it was running an earlier L6 ECU rather than the L8 it should have had, and it was also on 2.9 4x4 hubs rather than genuine Cossie items,” says Vicki. But perhaps the biggest task was rebuilding the YB engine, which Vicki did herself on the kitchen table at home with the supervision and guidance of her husband. “Well, he mainly kept wandering off into the front room as it was painful watching me doing it so slowly,” laughs Vicki.
Now it’s all complete and after all of Vicki’s efforts getting it back up to scratch, is it saved for weekend shows and events? “Not a chance! She’s out every weekend; rain or shine, and is my shopping and school run car! She’s generally caked in dirt! I absolutely love driving her and it’s priceless watching people’s faces when they see her out and about,” smiles Vicki.
There’s still a few more jobs on the to-do list, but it’s refreshing to see a Cossie getting out and about and putting smiles on faces as often as possible.
