Importing a RHD Kombi from the UK!


Hey all,

Has anyone imported a modified Kombi before?

Looking at bringing in a RHD splitty which has had suspension modifications (drop spindles) and a straight rear axle. From looking at the guidelines, these modifications don't seem to concern the govt too much, only if major engine and drive-train mods are done.

I've imported a standard car before so know what needs to be done in regards to prep and paperwork but not 100% certain in regards to a pre 89 modified vehicle... Any advice?

Not long ago, they were refusing import approval to ANY modified vehicle, even those with only aftermarket wheels and a paint job. Proceed with extreme caution and make sure you contact the authorities before you buy the car. I believe they ask for photos of the car and judge it on those photos as to whether or not it's 'modified'. If it looks modified then it's not allowed in to the country, even if it could be legally registered here.

Just out of interest, why are you importing a splitty from the UK? Usually they tend to go the other way, because prices over there are much higher.

Thanks Waveman, good advice, will cross all my Tees before pressing the button!

Well, in the past you'd be correct, all Kombis were more expensive in the UK. Now, with us being the richest nation in the world and the UK going down the toilet, it's time to fight back and bring those Kombis back home!

I reckon we've got 4-5 years of buying before it turns around again!

I would proceed very cautiously as there is always the chance it can be imported and then rego declined...
unless its back to stock...
Can you get paperwork to say it will be Ok to register in Australia or just to import it?

and I though with Our AUS$ to the New Pence was below 70 cents..
it was too expensive to buy anything over there..
especially what is advertised in the VW magazines.. lol

Best of Luck

dont know about the UK rules right now, but as of last year, when importing from america the car now has to be stock if you wish for it to be registered for the road.... if its a race car it doesnt matter.... a friend just imported a modified 69 camaro from the states and had to go through a massive web of lies and fake statements from the original owner, import inspectors, engineers and then import officials in australia to make the authorities believe it was stock when it hit the ozzy shores and was only modified upon arrival, then he needed to get it all engineered here to make it legit aswell...... i would assume the rules are the same no matter where its imported from, but then again you never know..... the only other alternative to make it work without having to jump through some major hoops is to partially dismantle the car and bring it in as "parts" and then reassemble it here.... hope that is of any help... cheers adam

Thanks Lee, rego won't be a problem as it will be going through a CPS. The car won't have too many modifications in any case and yes, I'd likely be returning it to stock.

It's a separate issue from the import procedure though. Cars whic have been extensively modified just don't get in but normally suspension modifications are fine - just wanted to see if anyone had had any 1st hand experience... :)

In regards to buying from the UK, oh, there are definitely bargains to be had! Not only from the UK! There are a lot of people selling off their toys at the moment!

yes there are some good bargains there.

My half brother and I look at some auctioned there and we often find cars like Rolls Royce in fantastic unmodified condition for under 10k and then you see the sames cars here as pieces of junk getting well over 40k in auctions.

To me it seems like a no brainier. We look at the enamel signs and buying them from the UK has a 2-3+ fold resell value over here, looks like the cars will be similar in some cases.

Yes, Vlad

what You see on UK show "wheeler dealers" on foxtel

the cars they buy are VERY cheap compared to here...

especially European and UK made cars...

and all the spare parts still available [shown on the show]

maybe because rust is so much a major problem over there..
parts are readily available for just about everything

what are you thinking of buying and from where. I thought us was a better choice apart from the obvious small problem


The US is only LHD, I'm after a RHD for better re-sale later on. RHD countries in Europe (past and present) have some great bargains out there. Sweden had RHD until the late 60's, Switzerland and of course the UK.

For instance, 1964 splitty panel for 10-12K (pounds) works out as pretty good value over here! They're not everywhere but they are around!

There's no duty payable on pre '89 vehicles either, just the GST on the value of the vehicle and freight costs.

all is good, doing mine now. you have to provide a photo to get your import approval, if it gets the ok then move it. only advice is dont sort freight until you have the approval. straight axle etc will pass rego..
when it goes for blue slip its like any other aussie delivered car, dont listen to the doomsdayers..

no chassis mods etc area given, thats what will raise an eyebrow..

You’ll be pretty hard pressed finding RHD VWs in Sweden. Although Sweden drove on the left until September 1967, the cars were actually LHD. The beetles were just like any European model. I had a Swedish ’55 beetle while living in Europe. The Type 2s in Sweden are strange though. They are LHD with the cargo doors on the left hand side too. Must have been special order for the Swedish market. The Swedes were quite happy to sit on the wrong side but didn’t think it a good idea to have the cargo doors opening onto the street.

The swedes often imported cars from the UK because of safety reasons in driving on the opposite side of the road. You'd be surprised how many RHD Volvo P1800's are in the country, all imported from the UK!

and they always had the CASH although You never saw it.. lol

anyway still enjoyable to watch...

and I remember the original show here they actually had a car yard with cars for sale... lol

Odd about Swedes buying RHD cars...
I do remember reading about that 1967 Saturday or Sunday Night when all the RHD signs were taken down and replaced with the New LHD signs...
Must have been bedlam on the roads next day.. lol
AS Your brain doesn't forget easily.. lol

When I see VWs in Europe for sale in magazines etc I always think , where has this car been for the past 40 years when all that salt has been used on the icy roads?? plus salt air..
Have they been repaired every 2-3 years???
Do they have a better way to stop rust from salt on the roads
Or is it like in North America... Most cars in the cold Icy regions where they use salt and other chemicals on the roads, are all gone, as the salt just eats them away, every time there is bare metal??
one small stone chip and there goes a mudguard... YIKES

My observation is that the Swedes have a culture of looking after their cars. Often, when a new car came into the household, the old one was put in a barn. That’s why there are some real time capsules found in SWE. I’ve heard somewhere that Sweden didn’t use salt on the roads in winter but black granite grit which would provide traction and even melt the ice when it was heated up by the sun. Of course a lot of other factors come into play as far as preservation of cars. One being that cars mostly are kept in garages, often locked away over winter. When I got my ’55 beetle from northern Sweden the only welding it had ever had was the heater channel bottoms and it had a few small rust holes in the door bottoms, 3 small holes in the body behind the rear mudguards and a small hole in the front wheel arch, otherwise as solid as anything!
As far as VWs for sale in Sweden – a great site is Blocket.se. I set up a link below to show VWs otherwise it’s a bit hard to navigate as it’s all in Swedish. Current exchange rate is: 1 SEK = 0.143 AUD.

Actually, bugger the UK, here's my first splitty, all the way from NZ!


It's worth having a quick look across the ditch guys - just scored this beauty from a very reputable VW aficionado!

8-10 weeks and it'll be in my hot little hands! It's the van, not the bus...

Also coming with safari windows which I'll install over here...

Very nice!

Would love to hear your experience on registering it here... planning to register a US karmann ghia here that has already been imported. Engineers report seems like the biggest hurdle and since I will be modifying it I'm trying to research what's allowed and what's not!

Well, I'll probably get it registered on the Club Permit Scheme here in Vic so 'it's not as stringent as having the full registration'.

That means that VicRoads doesn't necessarily need to view it, only the club you plan to be with. You'll still need a RWC or equivalent but...

Good luck!!

Hi all, first time poster! Hope you are all well :)

I came across this post doing some Googling and joined up. I've moved back to Aus from the UK a few months back, so it's about time I get involved in the local scene anyways!

I left a 1981 Type 25 Devon back in the UK and I'm trying to decide whether I should ship it back here or sell it off - I put a lot of work into it, so I'm having a hard time parting with it...

Does anyone have a rough idea on the total costs for shipping one back? It sounds like you escape some duties if it's pre 1988, would love to know if anyone has done it and a rough cost.

Thanks for any help :)

I found the biggest issues were with the import as all the other guys have mentioned.
It's a nightmare bringing in a modified one during the import stage, pretty much impossible with all the paperwork and photos they require, the registering i haven't had too much experience with.

If its only small discreet mods, then it'd be easy enough to tactically avoid such things in photos and whatnot, but if you git an inspector in a bad mood you'd be up the creek.
You'd best look very thoroughly through the govt. website, perhaps have a chat with the imports dept, they were a massive help to me when i brought my car in.

good luck!

a 1981 Type 25 Devon

not a lot of them here
So - on one side it will be pretty unique.
On the other side it will be fairly unpopular

We dont appreciate the wedges here like Europe.
That said - I have had 3 of them.
2 water and one air

Devons are uncommon as well

If you want to bring it to sell - then think again

If you want to bring it over because it's a ripper - then do it

Saw an Off white one with the driver sitting on the Left side two weeks ago on the highway locally...

Maybe from California???
