easiest and most accurate way - get the VIN of the car and call 13FORD, they will be able to tell you if it is an XR6 or not, what options it has etc etc.

The body kit and a big old "T" stamped on the head would be a pretty good indication too.

Bodykit was optional, first XR model to have it standard was BA.

"T" cast into the head is a good indicator but it can be done pretty easily with a head swap.

Sorry you're right I meant the XR front end
It's not a 100% guarantee but it's a good indication.

To be totally sure you would have to check the VIN on the compliance plate, match it up with the panels and the engine number stamped on the block, then call Ford to confirm.

Model number on the compliance plate, have a look in the "Technical Resources" section of the Forums to find out what it should be
