Not sure about the trim.

Thanks Finny,

is there any way to easily see what the colour looks like? I googled it and found the colour on a HZ, is a light blue, looks like the Panel Van I've seen on this site with red wheels (not sure who owns it).

I can definately see light blue in the layers, but I thought it was on top of dark blue, then minty green!

Cheers
Greg

Hi Finny,

I used www.google.com.au and did a text-based search for "fb2106 +holden -fbekholden.com". There was one reference (sorry, not two like I said previously) to a ute with a body ID of FB2106-2668-M at "shopholden.com" which, in turn, pointed to an eBay auction in May this year. See here:

http://shopholden.com/ebay-cars/mo.php? ... 0235360636
or the eBay page it references (pictures have gone, unfortunately):
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 0235360636

The other "M" ute (body ID FB2106-5192-M) is on this forum:

http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtop ... light=2106

I also tried Altavista and a couple of other search engines but didn't find anything more.

Cheers .... jacquie

Steve, love the car photos matched to the plates.
Have updated the spreadsheet for you.

It got too large so I had to split it into 2 separate sheets, FB's and EK's.
(They should always to separated anyhow)

I have you and Stogger both owning the same FB standard sedan

With different colours

Some interesting trends, from the sample so far.

FB's in Adeliade repeated their main colour in the "TOP" section on the plate, where as those built in Sydney didn't.

All the Van's are still showing as Adeliade built, although no wagons.

All the auto's were made in Sydney.

Special Sedan's with auto's had an "A" at the end of the auto code.
Special Wagons had a "B", and standard Sedans had a "D"

I don't understand the TRIM codes. The two numbers for the interior trim colour combinations.
It is rare to find the same combo's on any two cars. Lot's of different mixes.

The second number in TRIM is different for FB's and EK's.
FB's run from 800 to 942, and EK's from 954 upwards.
