You're right, seen a 220kw up here not too long ago with 94k, wanted only 12 for it, it's only 70k more, but still....

Yeah I guess if you put it like that. Plus the 220 would have IRS also.

Nice AU, I would keep it as is because it would be such a sleeper - maybe remove the "V8" badges off the front guards though.

Are you sure it would be a 220 Kw 5L though? I thought all 220's had the Tickford tb but this one doesn't... Wouldn't it just be a 180 something or 200?

They are referring to the 220kw XR8.

Well bugger me, Ive seen auto versions but not a manual.

Unfortunatley for that AU you could get a S2/3 XR8 for that. Amazingly low k's though, to good to be true?

Well called them to find out a bit more, all seems legit, I forgot to ask about its history...doh

Must have been sitting in a yard somewhere to have those k's. I know its a rare car but $13k for an AU3 Forte is a big stretch regardless of k's. But they dont seem very keen to talk about price, he was adamant that it will sell quickly.

Good luck to them. I wouldn't consider it unless it was around 10k
