I remember wanting a TS over a TE as it had the Fairmont Ghia-style dash, Brembo brakes and the Koni suspension but preferring the multi-spoke Azzurros of the TE. Now I realise the five-spoke TS wheels were superior due to undoubtedly being less time consuming to keep clean!

As much as I love the turbo, I wish I had worked harder in my early career to own an exceptionally special Falcon. COVID tax has put these far out of my reach now!
I still have the Wheels and Motor magazines from the era as well.

In my opinion, you actually do have a special Falcon! Clean, un-touched XR6 Turbo's have become very rare.
