LHD Swallowtail

[a11djr]

Ive recently bought a lhd swallowtail and plan to move out to Oz next year. Can anyone tell me which states allow you to drive a LHD car. Its a 1975 and very rare over here and dont want to leave it in the UK[/IMG]

if its more than 30 years old i believe it should be ok to register in most states. Certainly i think thats the case for VIC

WA allows registration of it no matter the age.
And i have to say that looks gorgeous! more pics please!

I've seen that car in the flesh - it's beautiful!!! You can register a LHD here in Tasmania. My friend has an early Silverado truck which he uses nearly everyday

you really need to bring the sportline over...i will make me get my ass into gear to get mine over lol

NSW is OK to register too. My uncle has a LHD 914-6 registered aswell as a LHD 912.


What you should do is bring your car over and give me those wheels..

if youre planning on coming to melbourne. Here are a few docs that may help you with the information youre looking for. If you have a look through both you will see that bringing in a car manufactured b4 89 isnt much of a prob. And that if the car is more than 30 years old and less than 4.5 tonnes then it is exempt from the usual RHD conversion necessity.

this one is general info about importing a vehicle
