    OY! Leave our cars alone!

    But the Series vehicles are getting expensive, if you want any.

    I just bought my 1989 V8 110 County SW for US$7000-odd. With roof-rack, water tank, dual battery system, drawer, and Hella plug power points.

    Disco1s are cheap: about US$5000 for a V8.

    Yes I had a look at this a while back.

    Lots of info here Importing Vehicles to Australia

    Its pretty much as mentioned by quaddrive, the older stuff is simpler. (pre 1989ish) but still a lot of work.

    If you know someone in SAF it might be easier, but may involve leaving it in their garage for 12 months.

    I agree that 130 you linked on todays ex-rate would be about AU$22,000, bloody good price for a 6 yo 130 with low kays.

    Still, even if you could get it approved, by the time you pay for shipping, duties, AQIS (They steam clean the buggery out of them), rego, ins. Youd have to add quite a few grand to that.

    As others have mentioned, the pre-89 option is your best one. If it were me I'd be speaking to someone like Liveridge in the UK and having them source / build you a pre-89 one, then shipping it over. I've seen a few of their rebuilt cars at shows and they're good.
