Did Zakspeed ever sell X-pack road cars.. ?

[Troll]

Thanks for putting the link up Mark

The pic of that chassis number is in the boot... oviously there is the usual one in the engine bay too.

Can anyone do some sort of search through Ford databases from the chassis number ??

Under the headlining is black as is on the chassis number (A9 I think), however there is bronze all over the car including under the front wings where you wouldn't of got unless the wings had been taken off..

Very weird.. maybe it was orig black, and then sprayed Bronze for some sort of promotional use by someone.. maybe Zakspeed... who knows..

Yeah, the floor I noted was also black and should be body colour.

Post a pic of the VIN Plate. According to a brief check of my info (which I don't claim to be exhaustive), your chassis number doesn't seem to exist !!! AD would mean the car was BUILT after 1980. 6-digit number is also weird.

I don't suppose you have any copies of the original german docs?

............ this is a serious case of the X files

it does seem odd that, the way fords did there numbers, after the D should be an E in the sequence as there seems to be too many numbers and not enough letters, the 2 definately doesnt look like a E, and as Das says its a 1980 car by the looks

A was used.....i could be wrong

Dasa don't know where that comes from but A is deffo '80, all genuine Harriers are either WP Dec '79 AB AA Feb '80 for example

BTW as far as I've heard all X-Packs were built up at the dealer's, BTW the "Spezial" is the German X-Pack

[KL]

There was one metallic bronze Mk2 RS2000 (Automatic!) built by Ford for Henry Ford Jr to drive in the UK - but that car is known/being restored isn't it?
