I've got an original one in my workshop with the plate BUY 18W which apparently was one of the original ones ever produced in White,with the four spoke supersport wheels with like a pinky red insert which apparently is correct.the car is pretty solid underneath and it's had a new front end put on,although not particularly well.needs a full repaint to use but it's crying out for a nice resto job and then something like an rs2000 motor on carbs under the bonnet!!!I could ask the owner if you want as it's not mine to sell?

you think that'll be easier to find?
if you can find a clean xr2 then it should stay an xr2
