Question about EB dates.

Postby serial_fool » August 5th, 2008, 11:43 pm

hello folks,

Just been wondering what was the month the first EB XR6's were produced. Mine is a September build and I don't really know where abouts it fits in with the XR6 production run (although it was before the SmRtlock update).

Yours is pretty early - I'm not sure when the XR6s started, but I'm pretty sure smartlock became available in about the second week of october, or close to - my old EB XR6 was a pre-smartlock 10/92.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

A little be of googling has found the MOTOR magazine where they originally tested it- "MOTOR OCTOBER 1992".

You can just make out XR6 in the bottom LHS.

Released from Ford on the 22nd September 1992. Released from Tickford on the 16th October. Sold during August 1993! My Xr6 was a demo hack/ nobody wanted it :cry:
