A real one. Yes.

This is Sierra XR8 number 144, one of South Africa’s most iconic performance cars and a model that needs little introduction among enthusiasts and collectors.

Powered by its matching numbers V8, the car starts and runs, offering the unmistakable character that made the XR8 such a legend in local motorsport history.

The interior remains original, showing honest age with some fading on the door cards, while the rest of the cabin carries that authentic period feel. The paintwork presents well, although it does show some imperfections, which is exactly what you would expect from an honest, unrestored example.

The odometer shows 46000 km. Unfortunately, there are no books or history, but the car retains the key elements that matter: originality, identity, and the right numbers.

XR8s have become increasingly desirable and difficult to find, particularly cars that remain largely original and not over-restored.

This is an iconic numbered car, and a great opportunity for someone looking to take an original example to the next level while preserving its authenticity.

Paperwork in order.

Ready for its new home.
