Thanks guys, and many thanks MrLOL for the links and info, that's just what I was after. 
@Skeeter, no need whatsoever. haha. Saw one when I was staying with friends in Oz years ago, as they owned one. Thought it was awesome! Think it had had some work done to it though as when it started up it sounded like the devil! And I just love the looks, the sound, everything really. Then when I saw it on top gear again with Hammond I just loved it even more. 6l V8. Yes please!

Did you know a brand spanking new V8 Falcon XR8 Ute costs just $39k? Thats under £20k
Damn that's a nice price. See I wouldn't want a new one either, maybes a year or two old would do me fine. So the price (I'm guessing) would hopefully be less again.
Well I've spoken to Ken at Walkinshawperformance.
They basically order a new model, built to your spec. It takes roughly 9 months in total. Apparently they don't have them waiting around, they are built brand new.
This also means a no no to getting a 1-2 year old model imported. They don't do that.
Price. Well he said to me 37.5k, but stupidly I didn't ask was that AUS dollars or GB pounds. I assume, it'll be pounds??? Which is a hell of a lot of dosh, when if you look on net you can pick them up for around $25k!
I honestly didn't think it would be that much, that's crazy!
