I find the attitudes of some members interesting. Own Fords and B***h about everything Ford does. However in honour of the head of Ford marketing I raise my hat to you.
Dear Queer Elizabeth bumbling around in Range Rovers and FORD TERRITORIES some smart boy got his feet in the right door. Not a bloody Roller anywhere.

I haven't seen the footage, but were the Territories ASIO/security vehicles? I remember they used Territory turbos for security forces during the APEC summit. If so I doubt it has anything to do with marketing, when it comes to high profile security they obviously picked the most practical vehicle for the job.

Also good marketing was when the all blacks were doing their victory parades throughout Nz after winning the world cup they were in about 12-15 Ford rangers
 It was broadcast all over the tv and news. .

When it comes to these events (rugby wc, queen visit and such) everything is put to tender, and that is great publicity for whoever gets it.

Half a chance the Range Rovers were imported from the UK from her personal escort fleet.
They would be the armoured version worth an absolute fortune. |

I've noticed the CHOGM fleet in Wait Awhile is a motley of cars, but particularly scores of plain white Falcon XT's getting around in the motorcades (some with chaser rims, some without)

Good Marketing and FORD do not go in the same sentance... Certainly not recently thats for sure...
It would have been complete FLUKE that the territories were there, not good marketing or judgement...

ASIO security officers use them, every time you see Julia Gallah get out of the Caprice limo there will be 2 turbo Territorys behind or in front of it.
They would have been used solely to suit the job, Ford would have had nothing to do with it. |

Queen in a Territory?
Check out Paddington or Surry Hills in Sydney and there will be plenty on offer. Nothing new mate. |
