[TerminatorX5]

i am still checking the VINs against the database and found some interesting vehicles, such as test cars, press cars even photo cars - some barely have any equipment installed, just a few items, some really loaded...

I always wondered who would buy and drive those particular cars from the brochures... lol... turns out, those are special purpose cars...

[davewatson]

Can you work out how many facelifted 4.8's actually were shipped to aus?

[TerminatorX5]

those are right hand drive cars, that are shipped to UK, South africa, aussie, hong kong, japan... I will try to see if it can be sorted in such a way...

[davewatson]

Awesome thanks!

Is there a pre-facelift 4.8?

[davewatson]

touché my friend. - I'm not sure.

Nope....that would be 4.6is

[TerminatorX5]

I am going to post some of the info I dug up so far, so it does not get lost in the mess I have at my desk...

LN72000 – 4.6iS euro first one – 2001-01-25 - test mule

LN74999 – last euro that I found with "LN" serial number - 4.6iS – 2002-11-15

2999 units (and still counting)

LN75000 – first 4.6 right hand – 2001-01-29
LN76859 – last right hand 4.6 – 2003-09-18

3859 units for all right hand drive countries worldwide

LN78000 – first US 4.6iS – 2001-01-23
LN81258 – last 4.6iS – 2003-09-18

3258 - for US and Canada distribution (Latin America seems to fall under EU models)

those numbers include test mules, photo vehicles, press vehicles that might not be available for sale to the general public.

Those numbers do not include special cars, like police cars or armored vehicles (not that I can confirm at this moment, at least)


There must be other letter designators for the Euro 4.6iS left hand drive - if anyone has that info, let me know, I will try to dig deeper...

I will go for 4.8iS now, will post it later, and then I will try to see if I can sort it out by the individual model years (easy for US models, as the year is in the VIN, hard for others, as all I can find is a manufacturing date, not model year, as it is not in the VIN)

And then another thing, see, how many went to Australia...
