I don't know of any but would like to know if you can import cars newer than 15 years.

mexican beetles etc.

I used Halford Youngs International for imports from NZ. Based in Mascot.
Check in the Unique Cars magazine as there are a few that do the whole deal...consolidation into a 40' container, shipping, customs clearance here in Aust, and all the other nasty things that go on when you import a car.

Thanks guys. Good place to start. I do know importing cars newer than 15 years is a pain in the arse. You have to pass so many things and the stamp duty etc is a killer. No I am looking at purely cars over the 30 year mark as I am sure the duty is nil but of course Johnny still wants his GST.


By the way what was the ball park cost to bring your car in from NZ? You don't have to tell me if it is too personal. I will understand.
