OK once and for all - does anyone know if an EL series II exists? I have never heard of it despite years of research on local cars - yet I often hear references to it.
There may have been an EL update in the same vein as the '99 AU update which gained power front windows, lower rear suspension but little else. Anyone?
I sware there were proposal for a EL II bouncing around somewhere. Weather these EL's were test mules for the AU (most probably were) or were a stopgap incase if the AU was not peachy will probably remain a "unsolved mystery" as Robert Stack fellow says. That and the rumour that Ford build a XD GTHO with 550hp but never saw the light of day
Anyone else got any other juicy rumours of the Fords that never were?
Yep I vaguely remember the Sapphire II. At the time, the EL Falcon was struggling in vain against the VT Commodore, and waiting to the AU to come and 'save the day' (or so we thought). But this was merely the second coming of the limited edition Sapphire, not something related to the supposed EL II.
From what I'm gathering, the EL II may have been the unofficial name for the last ELs, possibly with AU-spec motors.
i didn't think that there was a series 2 EL, it might has just been called the last of them, cos i dont seem to remember there b'in ne adds about the EL2. unlike when the Au2 came out.
You thread-mining fool Yagz :sb: make it out that I don't know about the EL series II (which by the way does NOT exist by any stretch :angel. By the way my EL wagon was a Sapphire II.
There is a big difference between a series II and an update. Take the AU for instance. There was an 'update' in '99 bringing front electric windows and lower suspension, and there was an 'update' for the Series II where the XR8 lost a few features but upped its power from 200 to 220 kW. If we keep mistaking updates for Series IIs, that would make the AU III an AU series 5!
el/nl update series 2 what ever exist and must use AU heads if not AU engine as i have an NL with an AU head, as the AU cam etc got put in today im certain
