It looks like Australia soon will replace ageing Holden Caprice models to chauffeur MPs around. Car models will typically be MB E220 or BMW 520d, (also Hyundai and Toyota could be on the trial list). Funny enough, the Labour party's industry spokesman wants to give preference to manufacturers that promises to kit out the cars with Australian parts and engineering services. I suggest we could have a go at assisting the shadow minister with proposing some parts lists or photo shopped images of kitting out some of the two mentioned models with some Australian made accessories  I don't have full overview of parts / accessories made in Australia, but I would expect parts from the Old Man Emu catalogue, and supercharger kits from Harrop to be a good start for Australian engineered or made parts.  Any other ideas? Cheers,
