The T3 to this day is the only Ford/Tickford/FPV product that consistently outran the Clubsport/R8 of its era. It kicked but thats why.
In every other Ford/Holden comparison for the last 15 yrs we have had to add the journo's cant drive or whatever. By contrast the T3 just beat them.
The fact that people spend thousands on repro kits to make their carslook like a T3 is a giveaway. It creates a desire.
The T1 & T2 were a failure in sales owing to there low key styling and the premium dealer strategy. A dumb concept which had the other 250 dealers saying to there long established customers "you don't want one of them an XR8 is just as good for less $$$." I know, I was told this.
Yes Im a trainspotter as you call it, but my stock little T2 is yet to be outrun by a stock BA GT.
