Importing Mk2's

[OEM G60]

Gavin (H100VW) rebuilds G Laders, or you can post to G-Werks for $200, then 80 pounds back to Australia. Best thing to do is get it serviced before you ship it out here, they last a while on a decent re-build.
All depends how much you want something and how much you're willing to pay for it, i don't regret having mine sent out here one little bit

Only if you converted it to RHD, you could do that over here if you sourced the bits and shipped them over inside the car.
Have a look at www.karmanshipping.co.uk for more info on shipping, tax etc, theres plenty of links in there.

Cheers mate, thats a big help. All the info i needed.

i think the LHD option might be one worth considering. all the parts needed to convert it would be easily under 1k.

Really?

Headlights?
Steering Rack
Pedals, Brake Linkages
Dash and lots of other stuff?

Plus untold time to do it and it would never be as good as a factory one.

You can have a car of interest registered for limited road use in LHD
Road Rally or something like that.

second hand you think that stuff would be over 1k?

Not a problem mate, i can recommend that company too btw, my Corrado came in a sole use 20ft container from them, the cool thing is it only took 4 weeks and i was allowed to fill the car up with personal effects. It cost me 1500 pounds in 2005.
With Roll on Roll off ferry service you are not allowed to fill the car up, it was cheaper at 800 pounds though.

Selling a car with ltd road use should you need/want to would be very tough for starters. Example look at that guy that had a cage in his R32 that was on a normal rego...didn't sell did it.

I got a quote from Karman today and it looks like it would cost around $10000 all up including the cost of the car.

And like you say you can fill it up with whatever. I wonder how many sets of wheels i could get in a car?

two of the quotes i had from the UK will NOT allow you to fill the car up with spares etc

but that was for a roll on / roll off

It can be done you just need to have a very good itinery of what is inside.

Roll on roll off is a very expensive method of freight.

Basic 20 or 40ft container is your cheapest option.

i agree, i will get a few quotes when i am back in the uk in oct.
i would love to send my sportline over but i dont think its worth spending a 1000s of pounds to do it.

Do you mind letting me how much he will charge. I am definitely interested in shipping a car over, if you wanna share a container and split the cost.

Won't be able to do it 'till early next year though.
