1986, if ya gotta have a XF, it may as well be a fast one!


Not sure on the exact year, but since AUSCAR started in '86, it'll do.

I'll rephrase, good unmodified fords after '83 (esp '86 in my case), i think the XF Ghia and Lane had already been mentioned, i didnt want to copy anyone.

But, you compare those few, to the multitudes of different cars you can use from any year in the 60's or 70's and you may see my point.

But if it means that much to you i'll make my daily ford a FE LTD.

oh, and i hope you realise the XE Mont there is MY car. If i could have used it i would have. :
