Are these still just organ donors for ESP replicas or XD/XE builds generally?
351/FMX ZK weren't officially available. It would be good to get a pic of the ID plate.

Another when it rains it pours moment. Always had a soft spot for the Charades so on a work trip to the Great Southern region WA, it was nice to see a couple being taken to the local speedway as Junior cars.
Then on pulling up in one of the towns I spotted this sedan, rare back in the day I thought they'd be extinct by now. Would have been the predecessor to the Applause but it has a boot lid instead of hatch back.

Yes, I made a mistake and supplied corrected information. My apology for that was genuine.

Out for dinner the other night.
Walked passed a euro mechanic.
Seen an older Cayenne.
But it wasnt a Cayenne, Had a big Gemballa sticker across the back google tells me its a Gemballa Tornado?
I should have stopped for a look. I might try sneak a look next week if its still there.
Im not knowledgeable enough to know the year model, but it'd have been late 2000s id say.
Shoulda took a picture.

Sorry, my mistake too. I didn't realise that you were the OP, & misread your reply. All good.
