The badge looks crappy.
I cant help but imagine it slightly lowered with a nice set of rims. |

There's a few over there*. I think there was an LPG'd AU Ute on eBay.co.uk a while back - they wanted about 5 grand sterling for it.
Didn't sell! * and the Pursuit Special from Mad Max 2 of course...

I think I finally found the FG wagon:
 Seems like you could fit a bit more in there than you can in a VE Commodore wagon.

Wow that hearse looks like it is created for the worlds increasingly obese problems that plague society now or people like Andre the giant.

Interesting what they did with that hearse, there was a funeral a couple of weeks back for a prominent Australian actor that had media coverage and I noticed the hearse they were using was actually an FG ute with a hearse 'module' fitted to the back of it - much better idea IMO

When I was over there 20 years ago the Falcon look-a-like was called a Ford Granada and was powered by a 4 cylinder.
Would have to have been a gutless slug lugging that much weight around. |

The later MKIII's weren't that bad... the 2-litre in those was a DOHC lump, Ford released a V6 Cosworth Granada/Scorpio as well - which wasn't the fire-breathing track monster it could have been sadly - unlike the XR4i/XR4x4/RS500/Cossie Sierras.. Ford also put the 4x4 system in a V6 Granada Scorpio , owned one myself for a year or so. The car stuck to the road like glue... when it wasn't in the garage being repaired!

The limo looks good, what I don't like however is the way all the seats face forward, its more just like an extended sedan:
 And just looking on their site, seems they have quite a few BA/BF based vehicles as well http://www.coleman-milne.co.uk/used-stock-list/

I contacted them a while back about buying a G6E saloon from them as they usally have around 40 of them sitting around waiting for conversions.
I soon left it tho when they cam back with £39k GBP for one on the road. Could bring one over cheaper myself when i looked into iot and even then it would have been a turbo. |
