    export/import issues

    Hi folks,

    Looking to export a Perentie out of Aus into NZ.

    Registration on NZ side of the ditch at my local shop (soon to be an ex-local shop) is proving to be a paper minefield with the local manager .... basically its too much effort for him to find out what's required.

    Anyway, I've found a couple of things that the truck may be able to come into the country under.
    1. Its over 20years old so isn't required to have Stability Control. This is the main sticker, pass this and its all go I think, but can you imagine installing that on a Perentie!!!??
    2. It may be classed as a 'Special Interest Vehicle' which is a bit more paper work.

    For a Special Interest Vehicle they need proof of 3 of the following:


    To have a vehicle identified as a special interest vehicle, the NZ Transport Agency must deem it to have historic value or it must meet three of the following four requirements:

    • The vehicle (or its make, model and submodel) is identified as being a collector's item in one of the following magazines or their respective websites – Australian classic car, Car and driver (US), Automobile (US), Motor (Australia), Motor trend (US), New Zealand autocar, New Zealand classic car, Road and track (US), Top gear (UK), Top gear NZ,Unique cars (Australia) or Wheels (Australia).

    • The vehicle's make and model has been (or was) manufactured in annual volumes of 20,000 units or less.

    • The vehicle is, and was manufactured as, a high-performance vehicle.
    • The vehicle is, and was manufactured as, a two-door coupe or a convertible.




    so my questions to the group.....

    Is a stock Perentie recognised as a collectable anywhere?
    Were there less than 20,000 made?
    Could it be considered a high-performance vehicle manufactured as such .....off road?

    Yes, it's a 2 door, not a coupe as it needs a hard roof, but definitely a convertible.... tick

    Have a search on here mate, there was at least one thread about it, as there have been some imported.

    FYI, I recently brought my Isuzu County over from Aus, they wouldn't take any general info off the internet as proof that it came out of the factory with the Isuzu in it, they wanted me to prove that MY vehicle came out of the factory with THAT engine, or it was off to the low volume certifier at many more hundreds of dollars of expense.

    I sent my chassis number to JLR Aus, and they kindly sent a letter stating that indeed it was factory fitted.


    So expect some complications along the way!

    You'd wonder what the difference was between a compliance plate from JLR and a letter from JLR?

    NZ military ever have any?

    I would have thought LRover Weekly or Monthly would be on the list as they are always having article on what is becoming rare...problem is they don't seem to know much about the Isuzu other than the odd article from Oz.

    Sell copies of your appropriately redacted letter...

    Probably not proof enough, from wikipedia

    Land Rover 110 in Australia

    Continuing on from production of the Australian SIII Stage 1 Isuzu 4BD1 diesel variant, Jaguar Rover Australia (JRA) developed an Isuzu 4BD1 (See List of Isuzu engines ) diesel powered 110 for sale as an Australia Only consumer product.
    Between 1981 and 1990, the Isuzu 4BD1 engine was the only diesel option available for Land Rover in Australia

    Australian Army

    Main article: Land Rover Perentie


    1989 Ex-Australian Army Land Rover "Perentie" 110.


    The Land Rover Perentie is the Land Rover 110 produced for the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
    In the 1980s, using the Australia Only civilian 4BD1 powered 110 as a basis, Jaguar Rover Australia (JRA) developed a military version of the 4BD1 110 model for competitive trials against vehicles supplied by Chrysler JEEP, Mercedes and Toyota conducted by the Australian Army Testing Establishment. Land Rover was the successful candidate and the Australian Army ordered several thousand 110 Land Rovers in various configurations made to this specification, called the Land Rover Perentie, some of which were 6x6 drive. Six wheel drive Perenties were fitted with a turbocharged 3.9L Isuzu diesel engine (4BD1-T), while the 4x4 versions were powered by the naturally aspirated variant (4BD1). The Australian Army vehicles were assembled at the Jaguar Rover Australia (JRA) facility at Moorebank, NSW, from locally made components and other components from the UK and Japan.

    Sounds like writing to JLR Australia might be the quickest way to go, if you supply the details of the vehicle for them to verify.

    I wanted to import a Kurtis Kraft KK500S two seat roadster circa 1955. Qld. Main Roads did not have such a make on their data base. Ran into the proverbial bureaucratic brick wall. It is not on the data base therefore it doesn't exist. California DMV title showing it as a 1955 production by Frank Kurtis Sports Cars cut no ice. Can't say I blame them for suspecting Cal. DMV titles. Arlen Kurtis has still the book of titles issued to his father in the 1950's. Arlen was still building KK's and issued a 1955 title to every new one as the design was unchanged and to The Kurtis team they are a 1955 model still. When was a particular KK built? Well, sometime between 1953 and today.

    Yes, JLR were very helpful, I can't say enough about the service they gave me. I did it via email, as did they, very quick and efficiently.

    No the NZ military didn't have any, they had the V8 stage 1 after they sold the series 2s off. Yep, tried giving them websites etc which showed that it is common knowledge re the Isuzu in the 110's, but that wasn't good enough. I had to prove MY vehicle came out with THAT motor. They weren't interested in the 3000 aus army ones!
