Not that much money though.

**Mont5.0** · 04-01-2009, 10:30 PM

Still she will be fairmont spec motor wise, 12g price tag. Low k's but how much can you get a 2nd hand 220kw with low k's for??
Just my 2c worth.

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.

well if anyone sees some reasonable prived 5 Litre Mont's or Fairlanes, (AU2/3) give me a heads up... im weighing up some options....

Henry - I know someone who has an AU2 failaine v8 on lpg with 65,000km on it looking to sell asap. Its silver in color and is in excellent condition. PM me if you wanna know more.

macman · 05-01-2009, 03:32 PM

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.

**Polyal** · 05-01-2009, 04:49 PM

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?

pm sent

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
