Money side of things getting it there isnt the issue ,its getting it there
Yes very few here, owned by people who have bought them with them, or people who grabbed one when they came up for sale. Rarely see them come up for sale. If chalker still have the 2 on there web site then that may well be it for what is available locally at the moment.
Most were imported when the exchange rate was around 33c to the pound. So sellers of those spent $60ish plus fees for a £20ish car ex UK.
If you want your EsCos here it is doable. I'd be questioning the need for airbags if it didn't have them from the factory. Sounds a matter of educating the powers that be about what year air bags were introduced. From the little I know, I think personal import is your best approach.
AirCon is worth having in Queensland's climate.
