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.

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

+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?

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 - :P

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 :)

Shoot me an email mate (see my sig) and we'll get you some prices. The wood won't be a problem. To answer your last question, probably not ;)

ok lets clear sumthin up.......the amish were cool in 1994 and still are.....i wish i was amish.....churnin butter and stuff...................and the chassis is wood cause its lighter and easier to replace than steel. dont worry i hang shit to my old man about owning a car made of wood. thanks for the info. and iron chef ill get the details and try to get my old man to sort a date and stuff out with u

    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....

    • Nah, lots of insurance repairs on V36 and V37 for pedestrians deployments. Reasons ranging from possums, to extremely severe potholes have deployed them. However, paying for the full repair can still be upto $5k AU some people have noted!
