Hi Mac, Don't both mate, not worth the aggravation. There are alot of red tape about age of car, type of car, etc etc, nothing older than 5 years (I think). Then you will have to pay duty which will be equal to the value of the vehicle. Lots of guys have wanted to bring over their Harleys and such but it just not worth it. buy a shit box when you get here and use that.
