Westfield Kit For New Zealand
Discussion
Hi All,
This is my first post on here but I've been a huge fan of PistonHeads for a long time now... great cars and brilliant articles, it's car p0rn!
Well, it looks like I'm going to be moving to New Zealand in early 2011 and handily, the company will be paying for all of our shipping, so I've been thinking... why not buy a Westy kit car and ship it out there in the container? I'll avoid the VAT here in the UK and have a great car that I can build and then drive on amazingly clear roads with beautiful scenery!
It all sounds perfect but the questions I have are... what am I missing? Has anyone ever done this before? Am I going to get hit with massive import charges in New Zealand on the parts given that the car won't be built yet? How about getting the car certified in NZ? What pitfalls am I facing?
Any advice from you guys is greatfully recieved!
Cheers!
Greg
