oooh hard one.
Vauxhall Firenza is prolly the closest to the MFP Pursuit. The other alternative is the Ford Conrtina MkIII (coke bottle shape ) but the boot line isn't as high.
Either way you're going to have to add lots of panels to get the black one the Ford GT :)
I still think Firenza is the closest off the shelf.
These are like hens teeth and it woudl liekly be easier/cheaper to import :D

Nice challenging questino tho' , I'll see if I can think of any others.

The XA is a big car. Bigger than a Cortina. Think current GTO but bigger and heavier.
Only one in Australia on Carsales for sale at the moment. Not a bad one either! Aus $20,000

as a fan of the film :) that was understood,

BUT we didnt' have an equivalent 'big' car. Maybe the Vauxhall Cresta but you just wont find one of those as Vauxhall innovated with unique guaranteed-to-rust-away steel on theat model :(

An old aquaintance of mine had one a long time ago. He is now in England and I think he left it with his Grandpa.
