well my AU XR8 below is long gone, i am just wondering if anyone here owns it now ??
I imagine the number plate would have stayed with the car :
The car was traded in at Castle hill Toyota (nsw) the i think it was wholesaled to a smaller used car dealer.

we are the second owners, it was/is only serviced by our local ford dealer.

factory options are;

automaic transmission
leather interior
Premium sound
Premuim Brake package
headlight protectors
Bonnet protector
XR mats
Momo leather steering wheel and T-bar knob
Nokia console kit
Engine was hand built with pride by: W Marsicano :

Cost new $54000.(we have all the original paperwork for it)

my wife drives it, it was all standard up until last week when i replaced the two middle mufflers with some high flow 2.5" ones, it has a nicer sound now.


I LOVE IT :
