Where is the info from that there was only three manuals made?

It was on the build sheet from the one i had so it could be wrong (from ford). I had an auto. How much did your mate pay?

Crap colour to keep clean

but when it's clean

I’ll let him know the numbers, he’ll be chuffed at it’s rarity.
Regarding price, coming from western NSW, it needs a coat of paint and has a bit of body damage, but less than half what you paid for your Congo. It’s being painted at the moment.

Surprised people let cars get that way with just 120k on them

Good to hear your mate is bringing it back, would have been easy to just part it out and make money that way. I ended up selling Congo for $8600, had messages saying sell it for more but after the work we put into it and the kms it had i was happy with the price.

Scema74, you’ve done pretty well, managing to locate 2 of the 3 manual Congo green XR8’s in your first day looking. Unfortunately I’m guessing neither of the owners will be likely to sell anytime soon. You might have better luck with the third one that may hopefully still exist.
