sam0044 54 Posted May 9, 2016 so I have just acquired an xe panelvan, will post a project thread soon, was looking at the id plates and it was origionally a 3.3 column shift manual 3 seater, I thought it was interesting though that the id plates showed the trim code as sierra tan. is this rare/ ive never seen a sierra tan bench seat before?

sam0044 54 Posted May 9, 2016 yeah low numbers of cars produced in 1982 only ,is it cloth or just plain vynal. Don't know, I've got it with 2 seats XE seats in it as its been converted to 5 speed, I've never seen one before so was unsure, I've only seen the Sierra tan esp seats never a bench seat, especially not in povo spec panelvan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SLO247 1,713 Posted May 9, 2016 I had an XE GL with Sierra Tan interior in the wool cloth. Not real common but they did build them. I've seen a few utes with Sierra Tan vinyl benches for sale over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xhadyboy 492 Posted May 9, 2016 That upper back seat panel is from a S pack. I have that trim in mine. Sierra tan plain vinyl rear door cards are super rare. Most S packs are beige or blue Sierra tan S pack was one of the least liked/ordered from new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,294 Posted May 9, 2016 My XE ute about 20yrs ago came with a mint sierra tan bench, i couldn't give it away at the time.. well i did, i helped fit it to an XF ute. i'd have kept it if it wasn't uncomfortable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,321 Posted May 9, 2016 Yes close its's from a GL FALCON orderd with T2 CODE striped wool seats,quite rare these day's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xhadyboy 492 Posted May 9, 2016 The trim codes with numbers behind them are the only indicator it is a factory S Pack. And underneath sway bars are upsized to 24 mm on 6 cyl and 28 mm on v8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
