Default History of this XR8 Tickford Ute

I am wondering if anybody on this forum knows the history of this ute. I bought the car in 2007, it was advertised in a car yard in moorabbin vic. just as an xr8 Ute, there were no books with it, I don't know the original registration but there is a video of it on you tube with the registration "BRUTEUTE" it is a 5 speed manual, when I bought it there was a huge spoiler on the lid, which I have since removed, It has an unusual front bumper, I have been told by a guy, who apparantely worked for tickford at one stage, that it is a fibreglass mock up that was the model for Glenn Seton's v8 supercar, but I can't verify that story, the build date is 10,01, engine is signed by Paul Geroulis, Tickford enhancements are, Momo Gearknob, Momo Steering Wheel, Interior is full leather and it's quick as,
I sold a VX 5.7 litre LS1 Commodore 6 speed Manual, with 238rwkw to buy this car, and I reckon the ute is quicker in a straight line, hope somebody knows a bit more about this car
