Importing a Project Car to Australia

[MulticolouredTVR]

I am hoping to move to Australia in the next year or so. I am currently in the process of fully rebuilding a crash damaged TVR. I have owned it for about 8 years but it has never actually been on the road in my ownership. Would I be able to take it to Australia with me and finish off the rebuild when I am there and then register it in Australia for road use?. The body is currently off the chassis so I would have to ship it in parts. There is little chance I would be able to finish it here before I go and I don't want to have to abandon the project.


I know there is a rule regarding 'owning and using' the vehicle for 12 months prior to import. Is anybody able to help or give a definitive answer?

It is over 15 years. Its a 2002 model year.

So its ok to ship in pieces and rebuild over there so long as I get approval first?
