Australian-built large sedans returned to South Africa in the late 1990s with the EL series and were sold until 2003, including Fairmont and Fairmont Ghia luxury versions. The 4.0 straight six suited long-distance driving and gained a small loyal audience. They are cheap used buys now, kept alive by a modest enthusiast scene.
