TVR in Australia
Discussion
Can someone help me.
I want to buy a TVR, drive it round the UK and Europe for 12 - 18 months and then export it to Australia when I return.
I know TVR's don't like the cold, but what about the heat? I will live in Melbourne where it gets up to 35 -40 degrees in summer, will it overheat etc.
What about servicing and repairs, anyone help.
Cheers.

Thanks for that.
Not too worried about me getting hot, as I will need the heater cos it does get cold there too, just worried about the car getting overheated.
Got 306 GTI-6 now which always seems to run hot in the UK, and it pisses me off.
Anyway, really want to spend the money on the TVR but just a bit nervous on reliability, pockets aren't too deep.

Lee,
Thanks for that.
I have checked that all out, and if you buy the car and have a proper receipt, then after exchange rate conversion, that's the value of the car in $A.
Have to add freight, insurance and there is a luxury car tax if the car goes over 55K.
Not easy, but if you have a proper the invoice then there should be no need for an expert.
Do you agree?
Dave.

Lee,
Thanks mate, I am an Aussie citizen living in the UK, been in and out of that website for virtually the last year.
Emailed customs at one stage because if you buy a new car in the UK you get VAT off if you export within 12 months, but OZ need you to own it for 12 months plus, too hard.
