tweety bird Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 well they stopped making the Triumph TR3 in 1961 and the Morgan +4 in 1961 also. so very old Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/373957-importing-from-canada/#findComment-5965838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Chef Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Both will be fine to import, and can also be registered LHD anywhere in Australia. If you're old man wants help with it, tell him to drop me a line.

If you're old man wants help with it, tell him to drop me a line. he's right about the triumph, but the morgan yes its an old car but its the only hand made( completely) car in the world even though the year model is in the 60's it was manufactured in 1994. the morgans chassis is also made of wood lol is that going to be a problem to import? and do u have a rough price it would cost to ship them both at the same time? like a bundle deal Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/373957-importing-from-canada/#findComment-5969767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Eps Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 ^^^^ the Morgan sounds like it may be an issue. With the instance of chassis modded pre 89 cars, definitely call the iron chef... If he has time of course :-) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/373957-importing-from-canada/#findComment-5970366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Rogers Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I have time - Japan is dead as a doornail at the moment... +1 it is flat as at the moment ( Oz market is not that much better.)

riley Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 +1 it is flat as at the moment ( Oz market is not that much better.) just found out that its only a problem to import raw wood, so the morgan should be fine ( minus the obvious clean it needs before shipping) iron chef any idea what the price would be, and is it cheaper to import two than just one?

Mr Eps Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 if you import 2 cars at the same time there is potential to save a couple hundred dollars here n there.. but ultimately no it isn't cheaper because most of it is government charges and labour... as for the wood thing - please get clued up on modified pre 89 imports. it basically is there to stop people like hot rodders from bringing in: Model T Ford w/ chopped roof and 15in wide rear wheels with a custom tub rear, with an LS7 engine conversion... that has been built onto the chassis of a chrysler PT cruiser in 2007. ^^^ it was to close the loophole that gave potential importers the ability to import "pre 89" cars with them being pre 89 purely on face value. however in the wake... it's affected an entire market of people unable to import their cars. I should also note that import approval is still given the "yes" or "no" approval by the same people and REALISTICALLY not much has changed. however you mentioned something something something built the car out of wood because you thought it was cool to be Armish in 1994 - in that example its best to speak to australias dept of transport about it.. just in case. would hate to see youre claptraption be declined import approval due to no homework being done.. ..that's all i was saying Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/373957-importing-from-canada/#findComment-5971637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
