I don't think This is an export wagon, it is the prototype wagon in disguise as an Opel for road testing. There are lots of photos of it in various Holden books along with the sedan. According to my research there were 4 sedans and 2 wagons made, all black, and all badged the same way which were used for testing. And yes the wagons were made at the same time as the sedans but not released until later.
The FEFC club used to meet at the same place as the Holden retires club and we had some fruitful discussions with them.

great Ken that it explains it, we may do a small run of about fifty units just to do something different as we will build the FE Wagon and Van this year.

Hi John,
What about a fully optioned FE sedan?
Cheers,
Graham

Hi Graham, we don't have a master for a sedan which costs us about $7500.00 to make and Trax already have done the Special so no doubt they will do the accessorised version later to get back the tooling investment.
We only do cars not already done to keep a different spin on our range.
The FE Wagons, Vans and Utes will be very good quality and very low numbers, hopefully all sell outs.
Thanks
John

I'll take 3xfc panel vans. Any idea when they will be available?

   Thanks Chris.

Hi Chris, the master patterns are in China now and they have just finished China New Year Holidays so we should be in production in the next few weeks but we wont see them for a few months but lots of other surprises to come.

John

Put me down for one FE Police and two FE ambulances.  ;D

Cheers
Paul

If you have to order, I will have one FE Ambo and Police.

Hi John
Could you put me down for a van please.

Forgot FC  ::)

Thanks to all the above with pre orders.This Forum and members will be advised of new releases before the general release as I would like you FE FC nuts like myself to have first right of reply.
Thanks for the interest.
John

What colors are they going to be available in? and Would it be possible to get one unpainted or in a kit form?

  Thanks Chris.

Chris not knowing much about these cars I could use some input. I can ask the factory about kit form but they are extremely hard to deal with when it comes to special builds or changes, they do not respond well to these requests but I can try.

Hi John,
What do you want in the way of input? about the cars themselves or if they can do unpainted versions and we can paint up or code 3 to whatever we want.

Cant wait  :) :)

relating to this export model that did not happen in the end, trying to find out what colours besides what is shown in the article I photographed from ( black ) if any other examples of the car were made in different colours so we can replicate accurately.

John

Hi John, I found these pictures hope they help.

I like the front bumper bar on the sedan in the middle photo. It would be interesting to know where that came from.

Ken and Stewy good work, we will pop a few out in black as a reminder of the history and development of the FE.
Thanks
John
