What car from 1991 or 1992?

[Pommygranite]

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?

[austinsmirk]

import from where though. last thing you want is a maestro or a rover from 91 !!!!

The UK.

Well a good mate just suggested an MG Montego Turbo

[BuzzBravado]

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.

[Leins]

Lotus Carlton / 500E (LHD allowed?) / M5 3.8
Maserati Shamal
Escort Cosworth
968CS

[Bungleaio]

Classic Mini

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.

[dibblecorse]

Vauxhall Calibra

[Pesty]

Fiesta rs turbo. Sierra cosworth

[MDMA .]

Friend of a friend does it. Porsche, 964's. gets crazy money for them out there. early 930 turbos too but may have missed the boat on them getting them cheap now !

One of the last sapphire cosworths , saying that what year did they stop building them ? 1992 ish ?

[jamies30]

Alfa Romeo SZ or RZ.

Or do they still have the rules against LHD ?

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.

Good ones are out there if you know where to look

Finding good ones for sale, that is the biggest problem. Mega car though

[J4CKO]

944 or some kind of Merc from the era

[Johnny 89]

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.
