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 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

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.
