ED XR8 Sprint
I have one of these in the shed. Wife uses it to drive to work everyday. Its up to 145000 odd kms on it now. wondering what to do with it. I recon its prob worth $15000 to sell. do I sell it or pull the motor trans and find myself another 69 and do a an engine transplant?? Love to keep it as is, but really need to get the missus a smaller newer car. Rest of the car is in good shape, no rust, complete original, couple of small marks on the paint, Damm car parks and never bent. what to do

Re: ED XR8 Sprint
some good info around on them.
and your right Jas,
Although almost $20,000 cheaper than an EB GT, the Sprint was priced $8000 above a basic ED XR8 and demanded some significant value-adding; something which Ford's Tickford Engineering subsidiary installed from the wheels up.
In place of the standard XR's 15inch spoked alloys were 16-inchers carrying 225 section tyres. The brake package was lifted from the previous year's GT and the suspension upgraded to GT specification with a limited-slip differential standard.
not to many either around
While declining to sell Sprints in a numbered edition as it had with the GT, Ford stated that production would be limited to 300 cars. However, by mid-2004 when the last one left the showroom, 184 manual-transmission cars and 172 automatics had been built. The extra 56 were reportedly sent to New Zealand.
