| 1342985 | 2013-05-24 08:45:00 | I bought a Falcon in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It was the first year of production (1960) from Canada. It had only done 18000 miles. It had a small 6 cylinder OHV motor of 1800cc and did 30 mpg on a trip. It would travel at 70 mph quite happily for hours on end. I went from Kenya to Zambia, and then to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and sold it to a farmer there. Bought a new Datsun 1300 Ute for the equivalent of $1400, which carried my belongings to Durban where it was shipped to Auckland. I sold it to Farmers Trading for a very good price. | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1342987 | 2013-05-24 20:57:00 | Currently have a BF XR6 T and have done over 80,000 km and would buy another After owning a couple of Maxima's(still own one) and Telstar over the years maintenance under warranty the Maxima's were more expensive though Dealer charges The Falcon averages 10.7 L/per 100k over a 2 year period and will do 9 L/100k on a trip(the FG will achieve 8.5 doing the same The death of the Falcon/Territory was cast a decade ago with the tightening of emission standards with the 4 litre 16 being a cast iron block,the current engine and ZF auto is bullet proof and will be talked about in years to come Looking at updating sometime to the F6 :devil |

While you're about it, what about bringing back that appalling little Standard 8 (Dad's first car purchased with heaps of "overseas funds"). If I recall correctly, it only had 2 doors, and the boot didn't open at all. On further reflection, don't even think about it :lol: |

The tubular support there is distinctly uncomfortable after very little travel. |

| 1342992 | 2013-05-25 05:04:00 | But...seems a bit timely the demise of the Falcon, because announced a few weeks back - the Ford Escort is returning (www.caranddriver.com), initially in China then rumoured for Europe. (www.autoexpress.co.uk) Never mind NZ, as always. The 1970s Escort I remember here was a terrible car. Seemed to be made of left overs.. |
