The car will need to be cleaned within an inch of its life. But 99.999% of the time the quarrenten here will clean it here at a cost of $450 .
If you are going to import the car permently then
You will need to pay 10% custom duty and 10% GST (VAT) on the value of the car.
Then you will need to get the car check by a inspector ($270 when i did it ) that will tell you what if any mods you will need to do to get the car legal for australia. He will also check the car matches the one you pllied the import approval for . He will then put an import modication plate on the car. Then you need to get the car roadworthied (mot'ed) and then inspected by the department of transport
Mate do us a favour and gives us a bit of help and tell us where you are bring the car in , when , and what you are going to do here. In others words are you going to travel around aus and then go back to the uk (if so you need to speak to Camel Landy as he did it with his camel trophy 110 , along with leeds )or are you going to import the car to live here for every as there are a few of us here that have done this already

SubscriberAs Ali asked in his last para - is the car coming out permanently or are you just 'passing through'.
If you're only bringing it out here temporarily (up to a year) you'll need to get a Carnet du Passage from the UK (I think the AA are the only people who do this). It is like a passport for your car, and basically ensures that you will return it to the UK when you have finished visiting or forfeit a whole pile of money.

sorry guys i am immigrateing coming to the land of the sun will be moving to nsw not sure where yet in nsw coming over till i die
Fossicker
just started doing paper work to move over so sometime in next 18 months
Mate,
My understanding is that if you re migrating to the land of OZ you will pay no tax. But you will need to get it registered in accordance with local regs. Now again my understanding is if it is a model that has been brought into Australia then you only have to comply with those complinace laws as applied to the model imported by LR. My suggestion would be to put all the the good stuff on before you bring it in. A worst you can sell the parts

we are not that lucky, unless things have chenged in last couple of years everyone wants their bit of money on importing a car.
customs have import duty, rta have tax on purchase price and you need a dealer recipt if car not been owned for more than a year, bit hard at first for us as we only had a hand written recipt, the rta are not too good a deviating from what there cheat sheet says.
its not a cheap thing to do.
