Default Look what i came across!
Yesterday, while having a look at new car dealership that has just opened here in Cranbourne amongst the AU's & BA XR's that they had there, I came across an AU III XR8 sedan Narooma blue, 5 speed, leather trim etc with, now this is the best part, only 5,036 genuine km on the clock!. I had to look twice as i could not believe it. And the price? around $29,000. oh yeah, included in that is Marcos Ambrose's signature on the engine cover!

Hmmm. Ford has moved not to long ago so it could be there or a new yard just opened in the old ford yard.

:UPDATE: On closer inspection and looking at the i.d plate, it is an AU II. Has the body kit, yellow side indicators, and some one has added the "220" badge on the bootlid. Hubby was trying real hard to convince me to get it!. And yes it is the old freeway ford yard, sitting on the front row when i went past tonight. sorry if i got anyones hopes up

Late AUII XR8's had the 220kw motor. The key is the build date I believe anything from July 2001 will have the 220kw engine. Not 100% on the build date but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere around then. Someone more in the know can verify this??

Almost correct Bearman. Ford started to add the 220 kw motors to the AUII XR8's from June 2001 onwards. The AUII/III XR8's with a built date of June 2001 to August 2002 have the 220kw motor. To be sure it's the 220kw motor, look for the Tickford wings on the throttle body.
