The EAS on the clasics came in in 1992 for the LSE and 1993 to 1995 for the Vogue models....

The LSE was a 4.2 and the 1992/3 onwards was 3.9...all were injected from either 1988 or 1986 can't remember which....

He had a 3.5 carb'ed V8 so it was on coils.....

Cheers for that the coils explained why it was reliable..

Not really, a Classic with decent condition EAS could have managed the same trip I am sure. Only real risk is a punctured air spring, but then he was risking a snapped coil and leafers risk snapped leaf springs...everything has it's pro's and con's!
