Was it a limited edition model released with Fords permission?

Yes they came with a COA.
Many of them were damaged from the factory & had to go back. Biante were going to scrap the damaged ones, re-make them & send them back to the customers. Mine was one of them that had to go back to Biante, but I never got a new one back as a replacement, & the model shop had to give me my money back, I'm now left with none. I've since found out, Biante repaired the ones that went back (glued up the broken parts), & resold them as repaired models without the COA. If you have one with a COA in good condition you're lucky, & their worth a mint as they are very rare now, (was a limited edition of 500, & I think just over half got sent back). The 1/18th Cobra utes were also damaged, I think only about 40 of them survived, the remaining ones are selling for up to $1300. I'm so angry & disappointed with Biante, but don't think I can do anything about it. I was one of the first people to pre-order mine, & had to wait 18 months for it to be manufactured & delivered, only to find it was damaged & had to be sent back. I had to wait another 7 months for a new one, only to find they weren't coming, so the model shop gave me my money back, after having it for over 2 years, (no I didn't get any interest payment). I wanted one to go with my real 1.1 scale FPV BF2 Cobra, paid up & patiently waited over 2 years for it, now to be left with none, through no fault of my own.

i have an XR8 BF ute, but unfortunately Biante didn't release a ute xr8, so i bought a xr8 260 sedan and a FPV 290 ute and i'm planning to combine them so i end up with a replica of my vehicle.
