Title: Testing FE's at Lang Lang. Lotsa pics. Post by: customFC on May 14, 2004, 12:17:05 PM Here are a series of pics from the National Archive site. Some I had not seen before. Great shots of cars in action on sandy roads. Also cool to see a ute on the proving ground.

What a great job that would've been, thrashing the latest technology. Wonder where the bonnet went off the old girl in the 6 th picture? great stuff Alex Nige Title: Re: Testing FE's at Lang Lang. Lotsa pics. Post by: craiga on May 16, 2004, 10:08:59 AM Hey Nige,
Maybe the bonnet got thrown to the tip, the same place the king pins are going after that jump :P Great photos Alex. Cheers, Craig Title: Re: Testing FE's at Lang Lang. Lotsa pics. Post by: customFC on May 16, 2004, 10:30:04 AM I have an old Motor magazine with that same car taken head on, on the cover, flying through the air.
Another thing I need to dig out. Regards Alex Title: Re: Testing FE's at Lang Lang. Lotsa pics. Post by: nigelb42 on May 16, 2004, 11:11:41 PM So I guess that dent in the roof was from the driver's noggin ;D

I think you will find the car actually still has the bonnet. I have seen this shot before, in colour. It is a yellow car, with a black bonnet. I do not know why this is so, but it also has an FC bonnet emblem. Odd? It is on the cover of a "Modern Motor" magazine from that era. Rob J Title: Re: Testing FE's at Lang Lang. Lotsa pics.

I hope they were not sold on as low mileage demonstrators they would have dissolved into the Fibro Garage floor in 12 mths!!!
