If you add your location and car to your profile details, it will make it easier for others to find you!

Cheers, Richard

Hi Kemal,
Judging by Carsales advertisements and posts on this forum I would guess about 12. Could be more but I would be surprised if more than 20.

I’d say 20+

Question has been asked before viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5765&hilit=Australia


One thing is certain, it’ll be bloody hard to get any others imported, the asbestos rulings have driven a stake into the heart of private importing.....

There are reams and reams of regulatory documents now (including the. Attached), and it’s pretty much guilty until proven innocent, regardless of age. The doc suggests that the only real form of assurance is the testing of components prior to departure from their origin country. Which for a lot of cars involves partial dismantling. It has dealt the “drive on-drive off” shipping option for older cars a great blow. https://www.abf.gov.au/prohibited-goods ... ehicle.pdf

Thanks Glenn, 20 doesn't seem like many, having said that I can't say I have ever seen one on the road
