Default AUIII Fairlane

Hello everyone,

Likely in the market for a Fairlane, probabbly AU-era,

I noticed while doing some research the existence of an AUIII Fairlane, not that there could be many of them being released in 2002.

Would just like to know, what's the difference between them and the AUIIs.

Thanks

I was under the impression that there were n series 3 Fairlanes, they continued the series 2 till the end.

I'd be checking with the seller that it is in fact a documented AUIII Fairlane not just the sellers assumption because it's an 02 build. It was my understanding, just like Montys', that AUII continued till BA.

Well, I didn't think there was one either, but I went to the CarSales research section and it does list a AUIII Fairlane, and there is a brochure in the gallery here referring to an AUIII (NU3).

Well there you go. I never knew that.
If there in fact is a series 3 Fairlane, I doubt there were any diferences over S2, other than build date.

The only S3 fairlanes were the 3 or 4 TL50's that were made
