Send Mr Turbo a p.m.
He previously had a Rebel.
But from memory, AUII 220kw, series 3 body kit, 18" rims, "REBEL" raised lettering on lower rear doors and i think it was any color as long as it was red.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Yep all spot on but they were available in colours other than Red, there is a Monsoon Blue one getting round here. I think MOMO gear was standard on Rebels too wasnt it?

I was also of the understanding that they were red only, but have heard mention of a blue one too.

No mechanical difference.

Well funnily enough the Monsoon Blue one came into work today, it too is a manual and has all as listed above. The rims are Series I TL50 18" 7 spoke items.

Enginewise they are just another 220 XR8 so YT massaged heads + intake, different cam, 1.7 Rockers, Throttle Body and the other bits as mentioned.

Yep - that's for the real rebels - ie AU2 220 XR8. Once it went to series 3, the bodykit stayed, but they only got 17s etc. Lots of people refer to the kit as the rebel kit, I guess because it first came out on the rebels, but just because it has a rebel kit, does not make it a rebel. The kit was also known as the C2R kit, and the Ford Racing kit.

Interesting. These Rebels seem to be a forgotten "TICKFORD" special vehicle, for only that small amount built. Shame FTE didn't number them!
