My latest purchase. Time to play spot the changes from standard on the FC 219.

Very well done guys. Sorry the picture was so small.

The rear hub cap is an EK one as it has the red lion on it. FB ones were blank. Well spotted though. The mirror is mounted on the guard not the door. There is a red motor but no HR front end. Yes it has a door lock on the drivers door, but sadly I have not received the keys for it yet. There is also a trimatic gearbox, large radiator, sports exhaust, a brake booster and an EK or FB front seat with seat cover, a chrome glove box lid and the colour is not the original compared to the firewall. Oh yes there is also several grams of bog and some rust that whilst are common on some of these cars, were not standard. Thankfully the floor has not had a new trans tunnel fitted so it won't be quite so hard to return to standard.

All that aside, it is an FC Standard Wagon.

PS the old rego sticker is from 1980 and shows what might be the original engine number. At least it starts with "L".
