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?

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.

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 !

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

BUMP (now I know why people do that)

Alan i've got 2 Perth assembled wagons. Took delivery of 1 yesterday.

Mick.

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

My first wagon I got about a year ago is on the spread sheet EK229 4 A. Tartan Turquoise/Snowcrest roof.
The 1 that arrived yesterday EK229 1666 A. Parisian Lilac/Snowcrest roof.

Beautiful!

What are the chassis numbers on those (the one stamped on the inner guard ending in P)

Pretty sure my utes on there ??? but its an Adelaide ID: 2547 A & a P sub frame: 8278 P

EK229 4 A. There is a bit of confusion on this one as the chassis may have been replaced at some stage EK10513P.
EK229 1666 A. Chassis EK5758P. Engine B240308

Thanks for that 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.

Sorry, the codes.

FB225-5564A / FB6160P / Engine B64756

FB225-6689A / FB37102P / Engine 948X174152
