Got this from my contact in Greece this morning.
Please be informed that last week I searched for Holden FB/EK of 1960-1962. I found only one but 1968 year owns by an antique car collector.
Next week I will go to the scrap cars yard to see if I can find anything
Let's see what Stelios is able to find. Fingers crossed

No point going to Tahiti, if you find 1, it will be a RHD.
Holden developed left-hand drive units for Greece, Iran, Iraq and New Caledonia.

I'm surprised noone has posted this pic yet.
A closer look.
FB with EK front. There must have been atleast 2 FB/EK's in this area at some point?
Have Stelios pinpoint the location in Greece by the signpost. The pic is at least 20 years old though.
Regards
Alex

North eastern Greece. Not too far from the Thessalonika
Looks like a bit of a Hybrid FB/EK

Looking at the sign it must be very close to the town of Kassandreia, 28Ks south-east of Nea Moudamia.
The road that the car is sitting next to is possibly the Perimetriki Kassandras, but the light poles are on the wrong side. Might be another road to the west of Kassandreia.
It's a pretty cold trail though...

There was one particular market (South Africa, I think) where the cars were exported with white walls. The wheels look body colour as well

Looks like the FB has had a front ender and they threw on an EK front clip.
my guess anyway.

No, no, no - not that at all...
The Greeks are a style conscious lot and just wanted the best of looking bits off both models EF front, FB rear
