Didn't they put 30th Anniv. badges on all EA's in 1990 about the same time as they introduced the Tibbe locks? Nothing special about them, they weren't a limited edition or anything.
The 30th anniversary model is when the Tibbe locks were introduced as well as the EB style T-bar handle. I had a Feb 1990 EAII Ghia 4spd and it still had the old style key and the XF type T-bar handle. I think they also colour coded the boot garnish on some as well.

1988 EA S Pak 3spd CFI.....Soon to be a 250rwkw HSV eating machine.
I havent actually seen the car as yet, I had a mate come over saying he knew of a Sprint real cheap ...... apparently it has Sprint badges and the owners were told that it was a genuine Sprint.
Lets say they rather pissed off when I told them to check the compliance plate & tell me the details. The engine code was all wrong so I asked what was the build date, 10/90. It wasnt a nice feeling telling a friend of a really good friend that it was only a EAII ...........
I had heard of them but have no knowledge of them at all ...... thanks for your help guys
