Overall, it’s a tough call but our vote goes to the TE50 – the charismatic exhaust note being the clincher. Potential buyers should bear in mind that the current car’s Windsor engine will be ditched in favour of an altogether more modern 5.4-litre V8 once the Barra Falcon makes its debut in October, 2002. So you will either have on your hands an obsolete machine or a collector’s item – depending on how you choose to look at it.

T-series are nice cars but over-priced slugs when compared with what came after. No classic value IMO.
