i love them, they would sell like hot cakes where i live as the phone never stops when your selling one,

my mate has a red one with a blacktop zetec & twin webber 45s, was featured in performance ford magazine about 6 months ago

bargain!
always on the lookout for a bargain xr2 round here, but they are always silly money and i cant justify it seeing as i wont really use it
loved my old one more than any car ive ever owned.
you either love or hate them after you owned one, good examples are hard to come by now

arghhh
that would have been perfect mate!
just want a standard xr2, to make mint and have it for my own enjoyment, and maybe put twin 40s on etc, and just have it has kinda a fun car.
remeber driving round the french alps in my old one, it was an awesome experience, all those roads, and the feedback my old xr gave was unbeliveable really!
Dont know of any more do you?

Cheers mate
James
