Is there anyone bringing in front cuts or engine/gearbox assemblies these days?
Tried Josh from Mini Imports but he can't help.

"Ichiban" -Have them from time to time.
"Import monster" - you'll have to buy the complete car, they will chop it and ship it over.

The only two I've investigated, there's bound to be more.

they're a lot harder to get these days, the huge numbers that were sold to the general 'non enthusiast' public have all been scrapped and cut up, the rest are with enthusiasts

Since you are in Adelaide, try Iron Chef Imports. The owner is a mate of mine. If he can't help you, he might be able to recommend someone.

I am only after the engine and gearbox assembly. Bringing in a complete car maybe a costly option for this.

In that case I'd be buying one from the uk.

Ebay.uk has some nice spi/mpi motors, and some sellers mention the option of international shipping.

Are you just after a 'Replacement' one or updating an older car to Rover specs.

I wanted to know if anyone still imports front cuts, as I am after the A+ gear box and associated bits (drop gears, side housing, 1275 primary gear) to upgrade from a standard A series rod change box.

There is one on eBay at the moment being offered by an ausmini member.
