Default is it a AU Fairlane or NU

I have just purchased a so called Au Fairlane 99 model most dealers refer them to AU Fairlane but when I look at brochures from Ford it is called NU Fairlane, Does anybody know which it is?

In my trade we call them "NU" (Fairlane) & the LTD is still called the "DU" but probably because to the average person wouldn't really know the meaning, most in the trade just stick with AU. Congrats on the aquisition.

Look under the bonnet on the build plate. Let us know if it says "AU" or "NU".
