As a pretty straigh forward example a couple of G Wagons would net you a fair profit. There are others and if you fo your homewaork, I think you'd be surprised at how much you stand to make. Buy the right vehicle and you would be able to shift them quick smart. Fewer problems engineering a new vehicle.

New land, new oppertunitys.

I can not agree more with Ian. I imported my 110 here almost two years ago... it didn't worth the hassle. 40 ft container (the landy plus a sankey) where approx 5 KAUD from London (Barking) to Sydney, and another 5 KAUD from Sydney to Woy Woy (big fees and small tax being a 1990 military). I did it just because the company was paying for the relocation. If not... just bring something that gives you a profit, as Ian said, and then buy a defender on here.

cheers,
