E-series trivia quiz!

Ok, I am really bored at work.
We did this ages ago on the *other* forum, and it worked pretty well.
Very simple, this is just a quiz about e-series trivia. Preferably only related to Ford factory things, not aftermarket modified stuff. First person to get the right answer asks the next question. Easy, huh?
Ok, first question:-
What was the largest diameter wheel fitted to an E-series from factory?

Yup. EB GT, EL GT, NL FBT. Told you it was easy. Ok, Goz-Iller gets to ask the next question.

I'll have a crack then
Name 20 non-factory E-Series "special edition" models (for example, EA SVO)
EDIT - this includes famous one-offs such as the EAGT or concept E-Series at motor shows. I wouldn't include "famous one-offs" such as say, Rollin's ED for example.
Come to think of it I can only list 18 so far

Wow. No, I actually meant XD-XF, but your idea is much better. I wonder if anyone else in the E-series owners club had thought of that? EA-EL. Good plan.
BTW, I don't really want to argue semantics, but the EB SS was a factory special edition - not aftermarket. But meh. Next question!

I guess we could replace EB SS with XH Sandfire then? (assuming XG-XHs are included in this thread)

Or XH SVO. Not really bothered, it was your question, your rules!
Oh yeah, XG-XH definately count as e-series for the the purposes of this thread.

Color coded seatbelts (and all dash buttons, stereo etc), different ashtray, 1" of wheel.

Ok, sticking with that - colour coded seatbelts, different ashtray, colour coded buttons.
Slightly different instrument cluster design?
DL had speed sensitive steering?
Carpeted kick panels?
Sunvisors had lights in DL?
Then there are all the normal EF/EL 6 cylinder differences. Distributor instead of coil packs, no crank angle sensor, no trans dipstick, but I guess you are looking for LTD specifics

EF also had carpeted kick panels. The instrument clusters were the same from NF/DF to NL/DL IIRC. They only changed in the SWB and wagon models.

Slightly different grille
New colour schemes
Buttons and switches were colour-coordinated instead of being black
The front seat backs and the front and rear head restraints were reshaped
New speed-sensitive power steering
Bosch 5.3 anti-lock braking
The windscreen and windows were protected by Smart Tint, offering the same protection as SPF15 sunscreen.
Do i win?
