Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but as of now there is no longer a 15 year rule on imports, meaning less imports, less rovers. prices rise.
Waiting on more info

Snatched from some Government website:

Vehicle Standards Bulletin VSB10 - Importing Vehicles to Australia

ALERT - IMPORTATION OF VEHICLES 15 YEAR OR MORE YEARS OLD

The Government has announced changes to the arrangements for the importation of vehicles 15 years or older. Under the new rule, vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1989 may be imported without restriction. Vehicles built during 1989 (or later) will need to qualify under the Registered Automotive Workshop Scheme (RAWS). The new rules will apply from the date of gazettal of changes to the Motor Vehicle Standards Regulations 1989. However, transitional arrangements will apply to importers who have made a financial commitment prior to the Minister's announcement on 7 February 2005. These arrangements will continue until 31 December 2005.

Well how about bringing front cuts in? I read about this on the Performance forum last night. Apparently there are exceptions.

I read it the same way. If you want to import a vehicle which was manufactured PRIOR to January 1989 there is no restriction. So you dont have a problem doing this.

Without restriction doesn't mean that it can be registered....
Still has to comply
