Falcons in the UK

[midnightXR6]

On a forum a frequent over here it was a post about cars not sold in the UK and the Falcon came up.

Anyway we actually have the falcon in a different varient to you will be used to here in the shape of a limo and a hearse from coleman milne.

I thought id try them to see if they would sell the car pre conversion as last week whilst down that way i seen a car transporter heading towards the factory with 8 black FG Falcons.

All was going well the reply was " The only vehicle that we import into the UK that we have type approval for is the Ford FG Executive G6E 4 litre straight 6 saloon in silhouette black with a charcoal leather interior.

I could live with the non turbo saloon seeing as i have the xr6t ute.

Waiting for a reply as i thought i was onto a winner here in getting another falcon easily.

Then i got this " With the current market exchange rate from Australian dollar to British pound.

Our saloon vehicle is coming out at a purchase price of “On the Road” £38,316.14.

Working that out back to AUS doller it comes back as a new Aus purchase price $61,531.26AUD.

Anyway though id give you a laugh at how much its going to cost me to try and get a new falcon over although im not paying that for a basic model would have to be at least a G6ET or V8.

The next move will be moving to OZ if i can get an offshore job over there or oil related job.
