From reading Steve's thread about Chassis / ID numbers, it seems that they would have a chassis number stamped on the inner guard ending in P, but the ID tag would have A, S or M.
I'm keen to gather details specific to these cars.
Any Perth Assembled Cars Still Alive?
Any Perth Assembled Cars Still Alive?
I only learnt a few days ago that some cars were assembled in Perth (no idea how many), but I'd love to know if there were any still on the road out there?

I found a car with the subframe number FB1010P out in the bush years ago , but it was well and truly knackered - that subframe would just about have been made on day 1 of production !
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

FB1010P, it would be worth going back and cutting it out of the wreck 
I hope finding Perth cars is easier than finding LHD cars. I wonder if Licencing Services will let me know if any are still registered

Sweet 
I didn't see them on Steve's spreadsheet, have you posted their tags on his thread by any chance?

EK229 4 A. There is a bit of confusion on this one as the chassis may have been replaced at some stage EK10513P.ekwags62 wrote:My first wagon I got about a year ago is on the spread sheet EK229 4 A. Tartan Turquoise/Snowcrest roof.

Certainly does sound like the 4A wagon has had a much later chassis fitted - but who knows, in the world of FBs & EKs there seems to be some strange goings-on and not too many records

G'day Alan,
I have two FB's that are original Perth purchased vehicles.
One from City Motors in August 1960, I have the original purchase receipts and the painted stencil i still on the under side of the bonnet.
The other I'm not sure about as it has been resprayed.
Both were built in Adelaide and assembled in Perth.
