Courier Hurricane is another worthy mention, although it was just a sticker pack.

Interesting how the otherwise black XD dash (and steering wheel + column) received a special beige treatment - a little similar to the cashmere option on the FG G6E.



Looks like it's all wrapped in leather?

You can keep the Kuga and the the Focus Convertible, but the rest I would take one of each.

Remember as a kid wanting a Lynx, just because it was different, and a ST24. Ended up with an EA, regret that.

Im pretty sure it was just the plastics re coloured, not leather wrapped. Was cool anyway as I'd never even heard of them before and never seen one since.

That 2000 Mondeo was a good looking car for the time, In NZ we had a special Paul Radisich mondeo mid 90's model based on the Kiwi race drivers success in the BTC

A bloke when i was at school 16 years ago had a lynx. It was purple. He didnt buy it, it was gifted to him from his hairdresser mum. It wasnt around for long, he rear ended a petrol tanker on lunch break and got done for wagging 5th period. Yes it was a laughable car, but hardly anyone had a car, so it was more a car is a car sort of thing. My mates preffered my car as it had 4 doors, and was newer. We, the ones with cars in year 11/12 all pretty much had **** boxes, i was atleast allowed to twice a week take my parents new luxury cars to school. In that token semi ford related, back in the ford ownership days, my dad had a jag xtype. Whens the last time anyone seen one of those? It was nice on the inside, but had all the they all do that issues.
