I was just doing a bit of research and bludging on the 'net and come up with a question.
Seeing as Coleman Milne in the UK, gets Fairlanes, Stretch Fairlane's and Falcon Wagons into the UK, would it theoretically be possible for them to import say a GT or an XR6 into the UK for sale to private individuals. Not that im interested in moving to the UK or anything, i was just wondering if its feasbily possible. linkage for Uk Fairlane's http://www.coleman-milne.co.uk/colem...uneralVehicles

sites down at the moment. But essentially they have a Ford Cardinal which is a but ugly Ford Fairlane hearse with Glass sides.
Then they have the Ford Dorchester which is a stretch (and non-stetch) Fairlane, and finally they have an estate vehicle which is essentially a Ford Futura wagon with a Fairlane front clip.

I remember seeing a snippet of George Best's funeral and he was carted around in a Fairlane Hearse.

I wouldn't want to be hauled around in one of them when I go.
I saw one of them on Top Gear when Jeremy did the Monaro review. I've also seen a silver AU wagon with an AU Fairlane front on the road. I had to double check I was seeing right.
