hey guys,i am emigrating to oz in dec
from the uk ,am bringing my ride with me [ '54' oval ],i need someone to transport my car by trailer from a bonded warehouse in sydney to where i will be living..in kincumber nsw,about 1 hour north from sydney.
as the car is not rego'd for your roads i will not be able to drive it straight away from the docks.
the car is lowered but i have cranked the suspension back up to give me the 100mm clearance for nsw.
anyone with a winch trailer wanna do the biz for me ??
$$ are there for the taking !
cheers dudes.......boomer

alright no takers then???,can anyone suggest a reliable transport firm then????

well if you have an international drivers lisc-then hire a light commercial(dont bother hiring a car if you want to tow a trailer) and a trailer and tow it yourself..

personally if its got a overseas current rego
id go into the nearest rta(roads and traffic authority)
get an unregistered permit for it(around 90 bucks aust)
a blue slip inpection(which judgding by the photos would be a cakewalk!!)

then drive it up

or find a friendly mech with a maveric ticket that would drive it up for you ;-)

double post sorry...

BY contacting the NSW state rego office, (Roads and Traffic Authority or RTA http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au ) you can source a one-day permit to drive it home yourself!! Seen plenty of Rollers, Benzes and Beemers driving around with UK plates

how much you offering? (u2u if you like)

you have mail!

so do you!

I don't know how much one-day rego is in NSW, but here in ACT it's only $27 which is peanuts... and no inspection needed! You just walk into any rego office with the car's details, hand over the cash, and they give you a one-day rego certificate for whatever date you want. Then you drive it yourself, all legal, and you're also covered by the compulsory third party insurance. What could be easier or cheaper than that?

Not in Qld purple ma friendly semaphore man. permit is abot $18 but u must get tp ins first abt $80.
anyways Boomerdog ,
if you will not be on the same boat as the oval could take weeks to go through the system as u wont be drivin it off the boat through customs esp if its in a container.?
What me say is u will have time to arr all.
good luck .am too far nth to pick u and mustard (car)up sorry

thank's for the info guys,anyone got a phone number & address for a rego office in kincumber??

cool as.....boomer

Try 6124 925 1805 , thats the international number for the roads and traffic authority Sydney, they should be able to help you out. Don't forget you are going to have to call during Sydney Working hours

Your request has been posted on a NSW Towing Forum...

Sorry I did not contact you sooner, but I don't come on here often...
