Interest in imported North American spec mk2 GTI and Jetta Coupe?
Corrados are on the SEVS list and are eligable for import.
A workshop has to front up the money ($10k) to become the RAWS workshop to comply just corrados. I believe it is 10k per year, per kind of car, so unless you are bringing 10 cars, its not worth it.
Get 10 people willing to put down a 2k deposit each of whom can get a Corrado ready to travel and I`ll become the RAWS workshop.
The only hope we have is to lobby the Govt to reinstate the 15 year rule, so that enthusiasts such as us can bring in cars that are no threat to the aussie car industry and were never sold here.
That said, that rule was done away with to stop imports of Jap supercars (which it hasnt done) so good luck changing it.
That said, if we all write to out MP, maybe the new Govt will consider it, especially if we emphasise the small engined, fuel efficien vehicles we want to bring

Thanks for all the info but it sounds like for now it will be more hassle than its worth. I read through alot of the government websites for their rules and regs. and it sounds like i cant even bring the car in and let it sit in my garage! It needs to have full permission to even get off the boat!
Owell.. plan B: Find near rust free aircooleds in Australia and send them to Canada

1986 Jetta GLI 2.0L 16v (winter beater)
On a side note, your user name is Banged up my friend.. But yer importing those vehicles is a waste of time unless you have buyers lined up, and lots of them. As Mischa said people talk the talk but don't walk the walk when it comes to dubs in Australia.. Interesting though.
It is such a pity that there are so few A2 Jettas in Australia.
I come from South Africa,and lived in California,where there were literally millions of them.
This model put the Jetta on the map...I have seen a couple of A1 Jettas here,ex South Africa I think.
Not even 1 A2,but I beleive there are a few...

Plenty of people doing that already mate

Hi dubbers,
Sorry to bring this thread back up but i am gutted , im originaly from the uk and have been around golf 1's / 2's for about 10 years including a couple of mk1 16 valve conversions anyway enough about me........what im gutted about is i want another mk 2 16v the problem lies here my brother (in the uk) has a mint totally unmolested mk2 16 v problem is its a big bumper 91 model and by the looks of things i cant have it (pre 89 law) is this correct guys?? tell me its not as i can get it for about $1800
you need to have owned it (personally?) i think for at least a year and then it's possible to bring it in as a personal import. (unrestricted). i hope it's a 2 dr

yep its a 2 door....... is that the only way around it only i heard you have to prove you have been driving it to if its yours . If not i can get it in my name i can wait a year for a mint mk2 16v
ok, so let me get this right- I have an '89 golf syncro which ive owned since 2001 and a '86 jetta. I had hoped to import both and from what ive read here I should be ok. Is that correct? This is just the start of me looking more seriously at this, so please forgive me if this topic is well covered elsewhere

the only issue here is that Australian customs only allow 1 personal import per person per year. both of your cars perfectly comply with personal import restrictions, but if you have a wife/child/dog/etc sign a car over to them and have them bring it in as a personal import too..
