BMWs for the Cabinet

The nice Government is very concerned about the environment and as part of this sincere belief, have decided to sacrifice their Ford Fairlaines for a more environmentally friendly car.

Yes the poor wee souls are going to downgrade their Ministerial cars from Ford Fairlaines to  BMW 730Lds.

How will they cope.  The sacrifices they are willing to make for the sake of the Environment.

So 34 BMWs are on the way.  And how much do they cost?  Well the Government will get a bulk discount but the shelf price in the UK (they are not sold in NZ) is NZ$146,400.  And a Ford Fairlaine 4.0 litre is $72,000.
