Hello Aussies
I understand that many of you have imported cars from the UK, Gransports in particular.
I'd like to know how it's done, what's involved, how long does it take, what are the costs etc.
Appreciate your help

Agree with Geoffs comments.A number of these imported cars that are in excellent condition are for sale at very reasonable prices. IMO it would be marginal at best.Doesn't really work at the moment for two reasons. The first is that the AUD has lost about 20% against Sterling in the last two years. Second is that so many cars were imported availability went up and so prices down. Three years ago importing saved you about 20,000 AUD and today it would save you pretty much nothing. When I imported mine I could fly to the UK look at cars , buy, import and still be 13/15,000 in front. However if you are looking to move here then bringing your car with you makes sense as a whole different set of rules apply ( favourably)

How is my old girl going Robert?
Mileage, any issues or modifications?
Hi Matt,................,Clutch wear 16% which I am happy about . I use the driving techniques from the Forum mainly dropping in neutral at traffic lights.
I used to do this but then i read somewhere or was told ( cant really remember) to just leave in gear because it is "one less gear change every time you do it".
Can the gurus please confirm which is the best option?
Only ever drop mine in to neutral if I'm stood in traffic, otherwise she is in gear and ready to go, that's how they were made, the clutch does not ride when stood..!!
