My mistake guys, it is actually Lightning Strike, with Black stripes (a very prestigious combination, you'll agree) and it is a MANUAL. (close....)
Not sure how much, but it's a brand spanker. Cheers.

He's legit.


Sadly I think Ford sales and marketing have done their pathetic little release and that's about all we will get. They don't want it to sell, so won't spend any money marketing it. I think they expect social networking to do their job for them with people taking pics of them out on the road.

They should at least provide some interior shots cause I think the new XR leather seat trim looks fantastic.

Spot on 1600 capacity for FPV Pursuit ,there was the odd one on car sales but probably gone, if a dealer still has one it will only because he has a stupid price on it.
