Another import question

[justnotsure]

Hi all,

I have done some reading up on importing a car into NZ and just wanted some clarity from poeple that have gone through the process. In short I imported my Lotus Elise S2 from the UK to Perth Oz 18 months ago and have now been informed by my employer that I will most likely be heading to New Plymouth in the near future.

I believe that if I import the car to NZ and sign off that I will be keeping the car for a minimum of 1 year then I do not have to pay Tax on it. True / False

The Elise is a 2003 Rover K series engined model, will it pass immissions?

I really do not want to sell it in Oz as it holds centimental value, am I being an idiot?

Any comments both pos and neg appriciated.

Thanks
