All about the t-tops
Have you checked if it was a model which could be imported from US, South America, Asia etc.
South America usually have a lot of models which almost never is seen other places!
Could you take a drive down and take a picture of it?
Was it a Laser Lynx?

It's not really close to home, but I'll get a pic next time I'm down that way.
Well I checked all the Fords on Wikipedia.

that think kinda looks like a wannabe 2001 Imprezza
-> Was it a SportKa?
Ohey that's totally it! The Laser Lynx. Wikipedia says it was sold in Thailand and Malaysia and all that, how'd you know about it FPV?
Christ that's ugly. I imagine there are few in Australia, and with good reason.
See P4g4nite, actual people can yield more results than Wikipedia ever could. They didn't have a picture of the Lynx.

I used to like them as a young-in. They dont look as good nowadays it seems.
After Focus, Laser, Ka, Fiesta, Cougar or Probe there wasnt too many other small Fords sold locally, it was either the Lynx or the Mondeo.
Theres a fair few of them around. For all intesive purposes theyre just a 3 door laser jazzed up a bit. Not too sure if they were still locally made or they'd switched to wherever Mazda were building them.

This had Laser Lynx written all over it, good job fpv. A mate had one when I was at uni... I never liked it. I seen a few of them around, not sure if they were built here, but they were definately sold here new.
Not built here afaik, a minimal seller and good luck finding spare body panels

I had to post the second pic. Cossie whale-tail!!! Stylish.Familia Neo/323c/Laser Lynx
The Familia Neo started production for the Japanese Domestic Market in 1994. Ford released a rebadged version which was mechanically the same although different bumpers, headlights and bonnet were fitted, badged as the Ford Laser-Lynx in Japan and Australia. This model was only available as the Ford Laser-Lynx in the Australian market, as Mazda already had the 323 Astina Hatch filling the gap for a hatchback in the Mazda range. Oddly enough to contradict this, Mazda Australia also offered two 323 sedans, the Astina/Lantis hardtop and the 323 Protege until production of both models ceased in 1998. This was released new in New Zealand as the Mazda 323 Neo. It featured a glass rear hatch, much like the Honda CR-X. Aesthetically the Familia Neo was very close in looks to a Mazda Lantis/323F and equated to a 2 door version and also shared the Lantis suspension. The top spec Mazda Neo was fitted with a DOHC 1800 cc BP engine which produced around 100kw, this was the same engine fitted to the base model Mazda Lantis. It was also sold for a single year (1995) in Canada as 323 Neo GS. In Europe it was named Mazda 323 C (stand for coupé) and it was equipped with 1.3 L SOHC (75 PS), 1.5 L DOHC 16V (88 PS), and 1.8 L DOHC 16V (115 PS) engine.
There was a MAZDASPEED touring kit released in Asia for Familia 96-98:

Wow, did they ever bring the Laser Lynx to North America?
I was going to suggest the super rare Ford Shogun. Only 7 exist, or thereabouts.
