One of the people with access to the VIN database will be able to assist, maybe GT LEGEND or Top Ghia.

Can you describe what it looks like, or provide a picture?

It is possible that there was a typo on the data card. Not unheard of.

Ahhhh, that's why it's not listed above. That is the luxury pack leather/suede option that came later in the BA / BA MK II run. Is your's a BA or BA MK II?

Edit - will be a BA MK II going by the build date.

So is that an option the buyer had from production? Is this rare or just a standard option ?

The Ford iDesign trim came with Red, Blue, Light Blue, Yellow, Orange, Green or Grey embroidery and stitching depending on body colour. The Suede inserts were called "Zero" and the leather bolsters was called "Mini-Moto".

This trim could be optioned as a standalone or as part of the XR-Luxury Pack.

It would have been a factory option. Do you have dual zone climate control?

I wouldn't say its rare, especially on an XR8, but not as common as the standard cloth or full leather trim.

It’s just single zone with colour monitor

That means it was a standalone option. Most ordered those seats as part of the lux pack, so making it a bit rarer than normal.

That leather interior was a freebie by Ford for some months in 2005. I got them in my new XR6 that year, didn't pay extra.
