Series 1 had that horrid grille we all love to hate...
Series 2 used the Fairmont bonnet as standard
Series 3 had side skirts...

Thats the easiest way to tell the difference visually between the 3...
Series 2/3 had a different dash, bigger brakes and a few minor cosmetic changes.

Think ABS became standard after Series 2 as well....

My series 1 classic had the egg crate (ute) grill body colour, and ABS standard.
But id guess you would class mine as a series 1.5

AU3 XR8 Sedan, although to be quite honest id rather an AU1 XR8 in silhouette completely stock with full bodykit, factory sunroof and factory wheels.

Either that or a S1 Fairmont V8 in galaxy blue with factory xr bodykit and wheels.

Naturally a T3 is something id love but theres other Fords id much rather spend 20-30k on.
