Although i had come from a family with blue blood in their veins it
took a couple of goes before i got into a Ford. My first ride was a
Mazda 808 which i mucked around with while doing an apprenticeship in spray painting.


I then moved onto an LC Torana sedan which was absolutely mint with
only 68,000 genuine miles and then onto a pretty neat VH SL/E Commodore.

Then i got bitten by the GT bug and flicked the Commodore and
started searching. My first Gt was a nice Red Pepper XAGT sedan and
although wasn't that original it was still a GT and i was stoked. In
this time i enjoyed the XA, taking it on various club runs and weekend cruises. I had the XA for a couple of years when i decided to move onto bigger and better things.


The search then started again for an XWGT and it had to be a
Clevo/Top Loader combination. I had looked at a lot of cars but none
were really what i wanted until i stumbled across an ad in the Trading
Post for a Track Red Clevo/4spd car. The phone call was made and after
a couple of inspections a deal was struck and the car was mine.

I am the 6th owner of the car and I am happy to say that most of the car is in unrestored condition and apparently one of only four Track Red/Saddle/4spd combos out of the 19 GT's that were made in Track Red.

The car does not have any unusual options except the 16 Gallon tank and the dealer fitted Fairmont wheel arch moulds and fender ornaments. Since owning the car it has taken out various awards at club events.
All i have done to the car is detail it and enjoy it!!!!

The bug bit again in early 2004 when i purchased my third GT, an Apollo Blue XBGT sedan which i am currently restoring to its former glory.
