first ute or first FB? in all the years i've been playing around with them i'de only ever heard of ones with no blinker (actually my missus's old man said he had one i just blew it off as old fool don't know what he's on about) anyway a couple of years ago i got my first (and first time i'de ever seen one) and just recently got another both standard sedans

hi! mick having had about 30 odd fb-ek sedans ,utes,van,wagons in various states of disrepair pass through my hands this fb is the first that i have come across without blinkers .anyway back to cherry pickin it so i can move it on and make room for the next one .should be here next week fb special sedan factory black and white fairly cactus ,but has a few choice bits left on it.

I have only ever seen one dash panel (FB Standard Morning Grey) that had no holes for indicator arrow thingies and no plugs. This must be RARE.

My turn, Indonesian export FB from new. Metric speedo etc..

Photo of the speedo please ?????

Here you go!

Cool - it would be handy to find a box of them somewhere ........

Not every FB I saw in Indo has them but they were standard as it has always been a metric market. I asked the car club guys in Jakarta about this and they said that when the FB was first released they were so popular that a lot of grey importing was done from Australia and of course those ones had mph speedos.

I'd be real interested in one if you ever see one for sale ?

VDO did the mph speedos as 7416278, whilst AC did the kmh speedos as 7961719.

here's the tag and body No on the EK ute I recently bought



it's a strange colour at first I thought just another honey beige till I saw inside it and it's a very lemony colour I've had it sujested that possably a fleet colour and someone even said they thought Cottesloe cream was an EJ colour but the No comes up on the list of EK colours
there's a strange thing with it that someone (sunnytim) may be able to answer or it just may be nothing, it has a large D in pencil on the firewall

Blacky,

A quick chat with the guys in Jakarta says they are not plentiful. So read that as rare I think.
