Hi MedicRob,

Welcome to the forum.

I don't know much about Sydney so I can't help you there.

Most people do not ship their cars to Australia. There is the cost of shipping it in a container, then getting it cleaned at the docks, paying for any adjustments needed, getting it through an inspection and then because it is left hand drive the insurance will be loaded. Oh and depending on how long you have owned the car and whether it is considered luxury or not there are extra taxes to pay.

We brought in our left hand drive 1971 Mustang. We are waiting for a few changes before it gets inspected. Unless you really love the car, or it is unique in some way I really wouldn't bother.

There is a link in the "Helpful websites to move to Ausralia" post at the top of the forum about importing cars.

Regards,
Karen
