EK owners have been upgrading their cars with FB bits since day dot - but most likely not in 1960 .........

The photographer must be an FB enthusiast as he's taking a photo of it and not the pommie crap.

many years ago i tried to buy a black FB that had the same flash, scratch plates, sun visor and a bunch of other nasco (clock, taxi rail etc etc) out that way though the fella did say it was one owner
