Old thread but Escort Cosworths are around 10-15,000 pounds to buy in England. Would it not be cheaper to buy one urself from there, ship it here and get it complied that way? I saw a Sierra Cosworth in Melb a few years ago going for 45 grand at Kamikaze Imports I think it was and have seen a couple of different Escort Cosworths in NSW....

[Iron Chef]

It would...if there was someone who could comply them...

That is the disappointing thing about the current system.

You cant get anything that is obscure or interesting. R33GTST? No problem. Lancia Delta Integrale Evo? No chance.

Are you sitting down? Apparently a 2-door version of a 4-door vehicle counts as a separate model, but this is a 3-door version of a 5-door model.

Of course, this didn't stop them already approving the EP3 Civic Type R, the N15 Pulsar etc etc...

If so. then how come the Integra DB8 type r got knocked back?

I saw a Sierra Cosworth (Import) for sale in an Import dealership and have seen Escort Cosworth's in NSW driving with NSW rego plates... How do these get by if noone can do any compliance?

I bet they have a yellow plate on them somewhere. (IE personal import.) the older sierras (pre 88) are a different kettle of fish.

According to DoTaRS, a 2-door version of a 4-door car counts as a separate model, but a 4-door version of a 2-door car doesn't....

Sierras still come in under pre-89 regs, and someone had plates (read back through the thread) for later model Sierras and Escorts at some stage, but doesn't any more.

Lol just on this..... I found it nice today, going up Bellbird Hill (Bells Line of Road) 2 sierra saphires, 2 Escort Cosworths and 4 Sierra Cosworths lol. Also a lot of old Escorts, cortina's and gorgeous old Capri! Not overly relevant but thought of this thread when I saw them all.

Thanks for answering my question tho.

[N1GTR]

Well the judge agreed with me last time I took them on, let's hope we get the same one

Any progress so far on this?

[Iron Chef]

Lack of sales post tsunami = not being able to spend $770 on something which won't directly make me any money...

[N1GTR]

Fair enough!

[Iron Chef]

Of course if people want to chip in to help the cause, you'll get $670 back if I win

[JimmyRickard]

What would an RS Focus cost here landed approximately?

[Iron Chef]

If it was available under SEVS, low-mid $40Ks I suspect...which looks to be around the same money the local ones are worth?? Hmmm maybe not such a wise move to pursue it...

[Iron Chef]

Just an update, Chalker NOW have compliance for Escort Cosworth according to DoTaRS, the down side is, according to their website, compliance is $9900...
