What's a Sharran?  I've been wielding the ALT-DEL combo rather 
heavily tonight!  If it's the Ford/VW MPV, as I think it could, 
I'll probably be drooling over it when it arrives. (VW version 
only, of course :)

As for prices, if the T4 kombi sells here for 24,000 pounds, 
the MPV will probably go for similar.  Ireland has ridiculous 
tax rates for cars.
