Hi everyone I have been looking to buy a Ultima GTR and have found some nice ones over in the UK that I would love to bring over and register in AUSTRALIA.

Is it possible to import one already built in the UK and have it registered in Australia?


I tried searching before posting but could not find anything recent so hope someone can point me in the right direction.

I am in Sydney but happy to have it registered in a different state if it makes things easier since I have family all over the country.


thankyou.

Have you asked the Factory? I guess that would be the first step.

Hi there yes have emailed alot of people including the guys at Ultima in the UK, and 1 guy mentioned it must be built in Australia, so just want to see if anyone else here has imported one and had it registered since I also hear this from another guy but he did this quite some time ago so wondering maybe the laws have changed/

I am hoping someone has done this on this forum,

thanks

unfortunately our regulations do not allow you to bring in a completed vehicle for road use any newer than build date of December 1988 unless you have owned and been with said vehicle for 12 months in which case it can come as a personal import.

ICV registration is significantly easier than RAWS compliance any way. I wouldn't bother.

Also, if I was going to bother finding someone to private import me a car from the UK, I wouldn't be bothering with an Ultima. I'd get an M600 or something totally unique and unavailable here. Will hold value well, and be super rare.

Try key words "Ultima Australia" in your search. Came up with plenty of threads but I have to agree that nothing is very recent...

Well planned into bringing one to Aus.

ICV is the path to go.

Good luck.
