2011 Ford Falcon XR8 – NZV8 Ute:

This vehicle was built from a brand new BF XR8 ute for V8 ute racing in New Zealand. It was one of 15 brought into the country for the series, which started here in 2008. After going through a couple of owners, it was destroyed in a season-ending crash for one competitor at the Supercar event in 2013. It then sat in a Taupo garage for some months before being purchased by Panorama Motorsport in 2014 and it was re-built so that it was not lost to the category. It now resides in Hamilton and has become a spare chassis for the team, but is available for purchase if anyone was interested in going V8 Ute racing, as it is for sale.
