In order of remarks:
Trev, The States...(Caprice  8) if you don't mind) is for sale as there is no more room in the shed.Was that a 5.0 litre V8 I saw in that pic of the FC Limo on your run the other day  :o

Hey Norm, I tried to have ride on the back of (the red thing) & I nearly swamped it. I'm looking after it for my son. It is also for sale as he has no more room in his shed either. He has a HR X2 Wagon in there. :-X

ED, Mine will probably still look like that in 10 years at the rate I'm going. :(

COL58FE, In 12 months I hope to have my other wagon (219 FC) finished, but not this 1. The poo wagon has 4 doors with it but only the rear ones are original and they are dark brown inside.
Regards, Gary

KEN,i was looking at the interior code on ZULU'S car206-727 what colour is 727.It look's the same as mine visually but code is different mine is 718 as you know.p.s just curious freind thank's.willhave some more I.D for ya on thrusday- night (fc speial sedan). ;)COL58FE 8)

727 is the code for Sheath Brown and Sandalwood Beige to fit a Special Station Sedan.  718 is the same colours, but to fit an FE Special Sedan.  While door-trims would be the same, the rear seat material is obviously different (the wagon rear seat is lined on the back).  Similarly the wagon has linings for the interior rear quarters.  The hood-linings would also be different, but there is a separate numbering system for those, because there's only a half-dozen colours or so for them.

When ordering parts etc this number was quoted as a suffix, ie a driver's side front door trim in your colours would be part number 74xxxxx-727.

For that same colour combination there are also codes 472 (FE-225) and 577 (FE-229), which presumably were either the same equipment from a different manufacturer, or there was some alteration to the trim during the FE's run to warrant the change of code number.

Hope that helps,
