Aussie Recall

[Nick_Chim]

Do any of our Aussie readers know anything about this?

I guess it could affect personal imports as well?

It's good to see bureaucracy makes as much sense round the other side of the world:

"...inistrator of Vehicle Standards has decided to allow the compliance plate to remain on the vehicles provided that an additional placard indicating the non-compliance is placed adjacent to the compliance plate in the engine bay.

I'm quite surprised they didn't just recall it for being a 'Poofters car' tbh.

"Consumer action: TVR out of business. Department of Transport & Regional Services is conducting the recall."

TVR out of business?

[ariddell]

Presumably just the Aussie importers that are out of business.

Any idea what this means for future personal imports? I'm looking at taking my Chim over when we move in 6months so really hoping this doesn't scupper the idea...

crackedfinger: I'm guessing it's the "TVR Sports Cars P/L" as the Aus importer / local presence that has gone out of business? I think there is a certain Russian gentleman propping up the uk end at current

ariddell: my thoughts entirely on personal imports - there is a chance we'll be heading over at some point and I'd thought of taking my Chim to scare the Monaros...

NZTrev - this affecting you?

Parrot: you've really got a downer on the Chim at the moment haven't you any joy selling yet?
Actually, for all the carefully cultivated relaxed carefree impression, the Aussies are actually an overregulated, risk-adverse and uptight nation - I should know; I live with one!
