One of Australia's Rarest Fords Ever Produced
2000 V8 5L Ford LTD Series II – A True One-of-One Australian Collectable
One of only 2 ever made in this combination.
Some cars are rare. Some cars are collectable.
Then there are cars that transcend both and become part of Australian automotive history.
For sale is what is believed to be the only surviving example in existence of an extraordinarily rare 2000 V8 5L High Performance Tickford enhanced Ford LTD Series II, un touched and finished in a factory colour and interior combination so exclusive that Ford Australia has officially confirmed only two vehicles were ever produced in this specification.
Included with the vehicle is the original Letter of Authenticity from Ford Australia, verifying this remarkable fact.
Even more extraordinary, Ford Australia has advised that there is no known record or trace of the second vehicle, making this car, to the best of Ford's knowledge, the only remaining example in existence anywhere in Australia and possibly the world.
This is not simply another AU Series 11 LTD.
It is an exceptionally rare piece of Ford Australia's history.
A Car with Provenance
It is widely believed that this vehicle was originally supplied for use by the CEO of Ford Australia, a fitting assignment for a vehicle of such unique specification.
Accompanying the vehicle is an extensive history file including:
- One of only 2 ever made in this combination.
• Original books and manuals
• Complete documented service history
• Authenticity letter from Ford Australia confirming production rarity
• Documentation supporting the vehicle's exceptional provenance
Every aspect of this car reflects the level of care and prestige expected of a flagship executive vehicle.
The Flagship of Australian Luxury
The Ford LTD represented the pinnacle of Australian luxury motoring.
Hand-finished with premium appointments, effortless V8 Tickford performance, and legendary long-distance comfort, the LTD was Ford Australia's answer to European executive sedans while retaining unmistakable Australian character.
Today, these vehicles are becoming increasingly sought after as collectors begin recognising the historical significance of Australia's final era of locally engineered luxury sedans.
However, this example stands in an entirely different category.
Its documented rarity elevates it from being merely desirable to genuinely investment grade.
Opportunities Like This Rarely Exist
Collectors spend years searching for vehicles with documented provenance and verified rarity.
Finding one backed by the manufacturer itself is almost unheard of.
With only two examples ever produced, and one now believed lost, destroyed, or otherwise unaccounted for, this vehicle represents an opportunity that may never present itself again.
Once sold, there is every possibility another identical vehicle will never become available because, quite simply, there may not be another one.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity
Whether you are a serious Ford collector, an investor in Australian muscle and luxury vehicles, or someone who appreciates owning something that virtually no one else can, this LTD represents one of the rarest opportunities in the Australian collector car market.
It is more than a car. It is a verified piece of Ford Australia's history.
One of only two ever built.
Believed to be the only one left.
Authenticated by Ford Australia.
For the discerning collector, opportunities of this calibre simply do not come along twice.
Car is currently in club Reg so it will be sold without plates, I do however have the plate, LTD 201.
All reasonable offers will be considered.
