2004 Ford Falcon XR8 MK II Ute - Metallic Mandarin (Code E2) - 43,695km - 5.4L V8, 6-Speed Manual
Overview
The BA Falcon XR8 Ute represents one of the great Australian performance utilities, combining genuine V8 muscle with everyday practicality. Ford's answer to Holden's legendary V8 utes, the XR8 paired the mighty 5.4-litre naturally aspirated Boss V8 with a six-speed manual transmission, delivering authentic driver engagement and unmistakable Australian character. This 2004 MK II example presents as an exceptionally low-kilometre, one-owner vehicle, a rare opportunity in today's market where untouched examples are becoming increasingly difficult to source.
Finished in striking Metallic Mandarin (Code E2), this XR8 Ute presents with a clean, purposeful appearance throughout. The paint holds excellent gloss across the visible panels with only minor stone chipping consistent with light highway use. Panel gaps are even and body lines remain straight, indicating careful ownership throughout its life. Significantly, this vehicle has never been used as a workhorse, instead enjoying private ownership from new and benefiting from the sort of care seldom seen in performance utilities. The odometer displays just 43,695 kilometres, making this an exceptionally low-mileage example that is becoming increasingly rare and highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The cabin is trimmed in black leather and textured cloth and presents with only light wear consistent with the remarkably low mileage. The dashboard is clean and free from sun damage, while the manual gear shifter and steering wheel retain their original appearance. Under the bonnet, the 5.4-litre Boss V8 engine bay remains clean and original, with no evidence of modifications or major repairs beyond routine servicing. Complementing the factory styling is an attractive upgrade to 18-inch alloy wheels, enhancing the stance and appearance while retaining the vehicle's authentic character. The rear tray presents exceptionally well and further reinforces that this XR8 has never been used as a workhorse.
Today, genuine low-kilometre XR8 manual utes are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Combining one-owner history, exceptionally low mileage, V8 performance and a six-speed manual transmission, this example represents an increasingly collectible piece of Australian motoring heritage.
Condition
Exterior paint is clean with minor stone chipping on the bonnet leading edge and light surface marks consistent with age and limited use. All panels are straight with no evidence of accident repair.
