kilometres, although this figure cannot be verified; Having been driven over 30
miles to the sale; The accompanying history includes export and import
paperwork, 25 old MOT certificates, photographs and invoices documenting some of

An appealing example of Ford
Australia’s full-size Falcon range, the Fairmont occupied the more upmarket end
of the line-up, offering distinctive 1970s styling, spacious accommodation and
additional comfort. These Australian-market Fords remain an unusual sight on UK
roads and offer an interesting alternative to more familiar European
classics.
This 1974 example is powered
by a 5,000cc V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in
white with a brown and cream interior, it presents in an attractive period
colour combination.
Imported from Australia in
February 1999, the Falcon has remained in the same ownership ever since, making
it a particularly appealing long-term ownership proposition. The accompanying
history includes export and import paperwork, 25 old MOT certificates,
photographs and invoices documenting some of the work carried out over the
years.
The odometer currently
displays 113,460 kilometres, although this figure cannot be verified. The
original steel wheels are included in the boot, together with a small selection
of spare parts.
Having been driven over 30
miles to the sale, the Ford was starting, driving and stopping as expected while
on site for photography and a short video.
An increasingly uncommon
Australian classic, offering V8 power, automatic transmission and nearly three
decades of single ownership in the UK.
