Yes I do, it was recorded as a car for sale in Prospect NSW - sitting in a paddock at the time but reasonably restorable. This would have been about 6 to 8 years ago.

Welcome to the FE van owners club Michael
There aren't that many of us.

Thanks!  Does anyone know how many there are on the road at present?

That is a curly one Michael, ...without going to every state's registration body and asking how many they have on their records?
Perahps the numbers in each state FE-FC car club could be posted here as a starting point?
Our car is a couple of years away (at least!) from being on the road-
(the price you pay when you spread yourself a bit thinly).

I have details of 47 FE vans - of those 29 are either on the road or are possible to be on the road at some stage. Another 4 maybe could if push came to shove - they are in the Cooma wrecking yard or the big yard in SA.  Then there are the ones that are not known of in the clubs so far, and there must be a number of those, but you can only guess at the number really - maybe 10 or 20.

Thanks Ken,  That's not alot really!

For sure - It is a well known fact. FE vans and wagons (especially standard wagons) are rare. Very few were made compared to other models and not many remain. Also rare are FE business sedans and even rarer are FC business sedans because the model was dropped before the end of the FC run.
