Im sure it belongs to a member of www.fordmods.com by the name of Daniel...might be wrong though...

EDIT:

Nah it isnt his car, but he has one SCHMICK FBT, as seen HERE!

There was a Blue one getting around for a while last year Dallas.
When did you see the Regencey one?
I will keep my eyes open.

Let Mr Landau or myself know if you find out who owns it, I have a Navy Blue one, car 007, and he also has a Navy Blue one, car 033, I believe Nomad has car 011 and Daniels is car 004....there were only 106 made, 100 for public sale and 6 as press cars....so they really are the rarest Aussie Ford made...and would love to find out where every one is, and keep a regester.
We are led to believe that there is only 96 of them left too, but have no official paperwork to back this up as yet.

Definately came in only Regency and Navy blue.
Most press cars do get sold, or are used as factory/staff cars.

I believe you punters are talking about my beast. I had it at blacklocks the other day just to get a test drive of an XR6T (no intention of buying of course, lol)
She is no 40 of 106.
