Mango Vs Peanut

Post by ga_goosh »

it just dawned on me that i dont know the difference between these 2 cars. they are very simmilar but i just cant tell from google pics. from what i understand the Mango is a TE27 and the Peanut is a KE20? the outside looks to be identical between these cars. they are both about the same era/year cars. I do understand the engine differences. so are these 2 cars the same chassis or is there something im missing? i can tell the rear window is a bit different but over all they seem the same

The differences cosmetically were slight and on the exterior. The KEs came with the smaller K series motors where as the TEs came with the 2/3T or TG motors. Different countries received different models. I believe the aussies and kiwis only received the KEs where as Japan and the US, the TEs. That's about the extent of what I know about them. It isn't much I know.
