Been looking into importing a car to Perth, but customs info states that you must own the car for a at least 12 months are there any exceptions to this like older cars/classics or a way round that. Ment to be moving in 6 months and currently have a subaru so no point taking that to OZ but was thinking a mk II golf or Carrado

So i can buy a Corrado which is pre 89 and dont need to own it for any length of time, was thinking cheapest shipping option, which is around a 1k not in a container plus import taxes and the like. there is only a few Corrados in OZ and the golf option is due to the demand for 3 dr mk II as there is even less of them in OZ. Seen one Corrado on ebay.au for $14k and previous ones on aussie vw forums for silly money ($22k) so the idea was to get a good one for £2-3k plus import costs use for a bit then make a few dollars on the sale.

I lodged application early November and got it late Feb, after a phone call. Also make sure the car is not all Chaved up, they are tough on modifications
