FOR SALE: One-Owner BF XR8 – Fully Optioned | Genuine | Collector-Grade
NB: First 21 photos + video taken 10/10/25 (video includes audio description).
Where are you going to find a one-owner, fully optioned BF XR8 like this? Quite simply—you won’t. Cars like mine just don’t exist anymore. With factory options, this is effectively a 1 of 1 vehicle (see Ford letter in photos).
Ignore the talk about service stamps — when you lift the valve covers on this XR8 and see the Boss 260 top end absolutely spotless after 20 years, that’s the only proof that matters. See photos taken 16/2/26. Also, see photos taken 27/2/26 with front engine cover off. Crankshaft, oil pump and timing gear still looking immaculate. New harmonic balancer, new balancer bolt and new front main crankshaft seal currently being installed.
• 178,900 genuine kilometres
• One owner from new
• Open-chequebook maintained
• No odometer wind-backs — ever
This XR8 has had significant money spent on it in recent years (see detailed service list in photos). A Bluetooth interface has also been installed, allowing phone and music connectivity via AUX.
I’m reluctantly selling as I now only have one car space available.
Vehicle Details:
Engine: 5.4L Boss 260 V8

The car was fully optioned from factory (see Ford build sheet) and comes with:

Original factory XR8 silver wheels, boxed and stored
History & Condition:
This is without question one of the cleanest BF XR8s available, by a country mile.
Never thrashed
Never tracked
Daily commuter use only
Plenty of easy highway miles between NSW and Victoria
The car still wears its original number plates from delivery day, and the kilometres are fully verifiable. This XR8 has been an absolute pleasure to own since new.
Final Word:
This is a genuine piece of Australian motoring history—a beautiful Aussie V8 perfectly matched to the ZF gearbox. A true Ford enthusiast’s car with provenance, originality, and condition that is becoming impossible to find.

Given they’re no longer made, this represents excellent value. Inflation alone will support this car’s value over time. In my opinion, this is a collector-grade vehicle.
Serious buyers only. Hurry.
