importing cars
Anyone had any experience with importing and converting LHD to RHD from America? Or, does anyone know of any for sale sites from NZ? (would be
easier).....?.......
Thanks

any car over 15 years old can be bought straight in without a 12 month registered overseas period.just need import aproval and the best way to ship(in
my opinion is via ro ro(roll on roll off)as long as it can roll they will ship it.costs around $1000us plus 13% charge.plus for vehicles over 15 years
old 5% import duty.........dont know to much about rhd conversions but alot of people from the states are converting thier cars to rhd(mainly
beetles)but i suppose a splitty wouldnt be so hard.
but personally i would leave it original(some states allow you to drive lhd vehicles,or just get it onto club rego and drive it as a left hand
drive(wink wink)

Dual Cab
Received this image from George - Double Cab for sale - Played with the idea a bit of a Bay Window, and photoshoped up an idea, but have decided to
wait until I find a Split.... Anyway, thought Id pass on what you could do with this bus......
