(1) Yes, the Ford Falcon taxi has been modified to include a Smartbar on the front of the vehicle. Most of the time the taxi will travel on well maintained roads suitable for two wheel drives. Where it needs to use roads recommended for four wheel drives, a four wheel drive vehicle will take its place.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) The cost to add the Smartbar to the vehicle was $5 850.
(4) Tourism Western Australia paid for this modification.
(5) Any repairs required during and after the journey will be paid by Tourism Western Australia or arranged through the vehicle's insurance provider, depending on the nature of the repairs.
