Is this really from factory like it sits, or one done up by a dealer??
I've never heard of an EK done this way let-alone seen one (EVER!)...
TELL US MORE!!
Does it have bucket seats?
Leather trim?
Factory 'Warmeride' heater with the thin bit that goes between the seats console style?
Etc??????????????????????????????
Scotty.
PS....just checked the date to see if it was the 1st of April.
Sorry Sputz, had to do my research before sharing
Factory as sits! It is a one off.
Bench seats with prem style armrests.
Trim is a mixture on metallic silver and gold vinyl and cloth trim.
Hi Matto, I need to have a good look under the guards to see if they had been there, though, I am reliable informed that the "Premier" name didn't come till the last minute. The Premier was originally planed to be the "Super Special"

Regarded as the EK .... for the Big Kahuna .... Made for "Harlow W Gage", Managing Director of GMH.

What a great find, and having survived this long without someone destroying its originality.
So where are all the LHD models that were made and exported, i am amazed that at least one has not found its way back home to Australia

I can believe the last owner didn't touch up the cars bumps and bruises. We are very lucky!
I have been chasing a Left hand Drive EK for the past year. It is in exactly the opposite condition to the car.
That is one incredible find. To think you may have the only one in it's entire existence, One that's built for the head honcho's to cruise down to the bakery to get lunch in. Seriously though! that is heading down the lines of 1st prototype of specials that Sheiks or Ambassadors can only get hold off.
I bet the price was hefty
