Default Re: DFB's Image Collection

G'day all ...One model that used to be around in the early 1980s and were great looking cars I thought were the S Pack Falcons .. I nearly bought one once .. Don't see them much now . Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the AU's at least also had a model called the SR .. I recall a teacher at the local school had a dark red one ... Can't recall seeing many over the years though..

On Falcon model names ...I still like to see GL , GXL , Futura , Fairmont/ Ghia badges from time to time on the older birds still getting around ..My AU is a Futura ..

White '88 update XF Spak EFI 5sp was one of my dream cars in the late 80's.

SR was for Series Runout I believe and covered AU to BF consisting of an XT with boot spoiler, wheels, nicer seat trim, premium sound and some got XR style skirts depending on model.
BF2 was the pick of the bunch as it gave you about 7k worth of upgrades for at or below XT money as they cleared way for FG.
I had a white S2 AU SR and looked at getting my Son an Egas BF SR in Breeze a few years ago.

Yes Roddy, my MIL had an AU II SR, beautiful and solid car it was. Her Mondeo died on a drive back to the farm from the city, and the town's Ford dealer were so kind as to let her drive home in the new SR
