Sure, the file name that it was scanned under says AUIII but nowhere on the actual brochure does it say AUIII.

Just had a look on Redbook and they don't have a record of AUIII LWB as well. They say that the AUII model ran until 7/2002.
Good call, but Russ's data in the Brochure scans states:
NU Fairlane
3/1999 to 11/2002 (on sale till 7/2003) - 10,297 built

Which is consistant with Russ' data provided above.

Big question is what where the Fairlanes modelled as from July 02? Was there any built? Would be interesting to see a different model number.

The brochure scans also tell us that the S3 brochure was published in March 02, long after the S2 Brochures. Clearly there was intent to produce a S3 LWB, but was there actually any built?
