I need a 722!!

well, to be exact, it's my customer(?) who needs it over at Thailand... I've sent few cars to left-hand side driving countries before, but not thailand (right handed... like UK). this guy wants black 722... but I couldn't find any black exterior 722 edition..

I found only two cars from ebay and autotraders...etc... those two cars that i found were not in black...but I want him to have more than two cars to choose from. does anyone knows who is willing to sell 722? (it doesn't reallly have to be black one)

ps. he said he has a budget of 2 million dollar and i was freaked out... he says... brand new 722 is around 3 million dollar in thailand (due to really really really heavy import tax...) oh, he also told me... in thailand, there is only one SLR, and that SLR is the 722...driven by son of former prime minister Taksin...(only if you know this guy has filthy lucre about trillion dollars. No joke on trillion dollars though)

The government is getting ready to seize Taksin's family assets due to their failure to pay tax so there may soon be no SLR's in Thailand.

Unhappy Forbes estimate: $2.2 billion

Forbes estimate: $2.2 billion
Thaksin's net worth is difficult to tally, because much of his fortune is kept in the names of other members of his extended family, and because it is unclear how much is kept in Thai baht and how much in other currencies, whose values go up and down.

But Forbes magazine, in a listing in July 2006 of Thailand's richest people, put Thaksin and his family in fourth place with an estimated fortune of $2.2 billion.

Just under 1 Trillion
