Wow thanks for all the great responses. Your all right there is no way it's worth a 35k investment to convert to RHD.
I do like the prospect of a loophole to bring over as personal import with our relocation so I will do some digging on that. I'm sure hoping the comments from ponyride onward turn out to have some merrit, it'scertainly worth me diggin into.
BTW what are club plates?
It won't be much of a fairy tale in OZ if I can't bring my Stang
Tristang
Not sure if its been answered yet or not but I dont have time to read every page...just gonna break it down real quick for ya
Unless you are an Ozzy and have owned that car for 12 months....its not deemed a personal import....even if your military ozzy or US....I cant see one loop hole here unless you have $35,000 and convert to RHD
Running the car through the border and shipping out of the US is a massive head ache but its achievable
There will be NO WAY you can get club reg or whatever reg as there is no way you will be able to get an import approval for it unless you go with the RHD option to get your approval....then...that said, the guy that helps you get the import approval to convert to RHD will WANT THE JOB....getting a RAWS to write you a letter just so you can bring it in isnt going to happen
They write you that RHD letter....they want the $35,000 job....its that simple
personally, I would either sell it, leave it with a family member or import it as a rally race car if it means that much to you (that means it can NEVER be registered on Australian roads)
Hope that clears up some of your questions mate
Good luck with the move
Matt
