I vaguely recall it has having 'upside down' two tone paint. ie dark colour (brown) on top and light (cream) on the bottom, volante wheels and matching velour interior trim?

Fairly sure it was also released with the ZJ Fairlane too -

I always wanted a lynx..I dont know why, the standard laser of that year had enough power to be fun. Something different.

Much like the mondeo st24...good cars.

Saw an XR8 'Devil R' sedan on the way to work today. One of 125 made. The Enforcer was a 125 run as well.

And people say the XR8 doesn't have any racing heritage! Ambrose and Ingall 1-2 for the championship was a great motor racing achievement!

Go the mighty BA XR8.

My TF Ghia had 14" wheels as well, those criss cross alloys, pretty ordinary looking maybe the s pack addition was to run them out as I believe they were standard on the Ghia

That'd be the 1975 50th Anniversary ZG Fairlane and P5 LTD (wasn't aware there was an LTD version until now you learn something new every day - thanks!). They built them to mark 50 years of Ford production in Australia.

Added this to a truck forum and thought it would look good here as well.
Only 21 built.
There was also the earlier Limited Edition LTL Kentucy.

LTD Town Car. My old man bought one new. He was talked into replacing the Carter carb for a 650 Holley, then fitted it with 8" Hotwires and cut a hole in the roof for a glass sunroof . The sunroof ruined it I thought.




I was 17 and going 100mph in it on the way to Adelaide taking my sister and mum ,(asleep in the back), to school and was passed first by a big LWB merc then 5 seconds later a Jag, like I was standing still. They had to be going 140mph minimum, faster I recon. I thought I was in a flash car till that happened, lol. The ol' Town Car, ran out of puff at 170kph and overheated. Obviously not geared for highway running.

I'm confused as 140mph is faster then 170kmh.
