Technical Aussie Car Imports - recommendations

Looking for feedback on Aussie Car Imports or recommendations for other companies shipping vehicles to Sydney, Australia from the US.

Thanks

 

dunno them but get yourself acquainted with latest requirements before spending any money
edit: "latest enforcing of legislation" is probably more accurate, what they are picking on this month

 

Thanks, I am watching events very closely. Already have vehicle and import approval. Just looking for recommendations from those that have experience with good people to help me run the gauntlet

 

Know a guy who had them send an Aussie Falcon up here w/o problems.

 

I think he wants to go the other way.

 

Does your import approval mention anything about Asbestos content? You may find that once it gets here, it will be inspected and if anything is found (asbestos) it is up to you to remove, etc. Do your homework first, there has been a major dry-up of cars being imported because of this. The situation is changing daily, so keep informed.

 

just look in the Aus hot rod mags. if they are like here in NZ you will spot three or four companies who specialize in importing classic cars from the states.
And ya I hear Aussie is making it way harder to bring in cars at the moment due to Asbestos. Read of one chap who has been quoted more than the cars value to get it sorted.

I use KiwiShipping over here and couldnt say enough about the service they are that great.

 

I have a mate who has had a few cars and motorbikes sent to Oz by Montana Exports. He swears by them, but I haven't had any dealings with them myself.

Thanks, the import process mentions the requirement to ensure asbestos is removed from the vehicle (I expect proving total asbestos free will be very difficult).

I have replaced all brake linings with linings that are stated as being asbestos (and copper) free. I have also replaced exhaust manifold and and flange gaskets as well.

Wiring is all new.

So we will see how we go.

Thanks for all the comments and to those who provided recommendations.

 

the insulation strips on the gas tank contain asbestos....

 

Thanks Rick,
Any other areas I should check?
