Opal Kapitan Export FE Wagon

[chrisfc]

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 

Cheers Stewy

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.
Regards

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.

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
