So Australia is relaxing the import rules meaning it looks like we can import cars easily from 1991 or 1992.

Question is, which one would you import?

I thought Skyline R32's was the default answer for OZ imports at the moment. There is nothing worth taking from the UK around 91,92 apart from a TVR......maybe.

Skyline R32's are common here, have been for years. But chavvy unfortunately.

Ooh good shout - Griffith!

1992 will be an early pre-cat, no Griff 500s till later. Having said that, a sorted 430 precat is awesome.

Yes, the last ones were on a 1992 K plate IIRC

This would be my choice, surely a rare car in Oz?

My vote too, unless you can find a Lotus Carlton.

I'm guessing most Japenese stuff of the era are common there? RX-7s and their ilk?

Griffith is a great shout. Also 450 SEAC if you can find one.. Visually a bit marmite though!

You haven't mentioned a budget so there are also things like the AM Virage.. E30 M3.. etc.
