As far as I'm aware you can ship your car over without too many worries, if
you have owned it for more than 3 months yourself. IE can't import cars
here and then off to OZ right away. The compliance should'nt be a problem
because there are a number of outfits importing hi spec Jap cars into
Australia at the present time.
Cost - I'm calling on a four year old verbal inquiry but it's in the 4-5
thousand range. Don't quote me !!
I was recently in OZ and saw an NRMA used car price guide. With 20000km's a
year average distance a 1991 MX5 will cost you around $20,000. The only
other problem is a distinct lack of numbers. We saw reasonable numbers of
the new shape , but only small numbers of the origional classic.
If I you own outright , or have nearly paid off your car it's probably
worth it. If you still owe on the car you may need to look closely at the
numbers
good luck

Matt Gunn - Newstalk ZB PresenterI was wondering if anyone had any information on the shipping of MX5s
over to Australia? ours or we'll buy one over there! Do you
have all sorts of taxes to pay for importing the car into Oz etc? Anyone
know someone who has done this and the pitfalls to look out for? Does
anyone have a contact in Australia that may be able to help with this
process? Any help would be much appreciated. Geraldine Van Hemert
