Didnt know these existed, looks a shed but probably very hard to come across.

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2
not a lot, it was a dealer special so only silly things like the stickers. I don't know all the differences off the top of my head, but it was hardly worth bothering with

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2
I used to have a burgandy coloured one. Was known as 'Rosewood'. Wasn't an XR40 but apparently it was worth a darn sight more. Well it would have been if it didn't have so many holes

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2
Only on my wall in my room.
I will have to see if any of my mates have got a pic of it.
The day I bought it, a fella offered to buy it from me there and then. Some of you may know him from Passionford or Xrtwo.com, Rolls.
The car didn't really have any extras, just the body coloured kit, standard yellow bumper inserts, and body coloured door handles but no 'good' accesories like leccy windows

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2
'Rosewood' thats the colour I meant - Electric Windows and Remote Boot Release are mega rare on the XR2 - there were hardly any options available iirc Metallic Paint, and Alloys being basically all that was available.

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2
Mine came with standard pots, interior etc. Lovely car though. I will try and find some pics of it.
I have still got the rear bench in the loft. Mint as fook. Don't even look like it has been sat on

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2
XR2-40s came with the rs accesory wheels colour coded bodykit as standard and electric windows. No performance mods to the engine etc, just a final last run of cars, probably fewer than 50. I think they came in rosewood bergundy and paris blue. One I did have a look at many years ago had leather xr2 seasts apparently as a mega mega rare option....

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2
I bet they are as well. Mine would have been if it wasn't rotten
I wish I had sorted it now tbh. Would have been a lovely car. Was good to keep it nice and standard. Personally, i don't think mk2 xr's look any good standard anymore

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2
I'm sure i read on a forum before that there were 47.
I haven't seen any about in recent years but I would have thought somewhere like the XROC would have some details on them

Re: Limited edition 40 xr2
They were known as XR40's. Came in Paris Blue and Rosewood.
As I said, i'm sure there were 47 made but the 'special edition' Rosewood xr2's i'm not sure about.
Hopefully there will be someone that comes out of the woodwork as an XR guru

My old xr2 C reg had a boot pop and i'm sure it was standard on the A B C reg xr2's.
