I'm not planning to buy one, but are there any massive holes in this calculation?[/quote]


165K AUD is for a basic RAW car.

You cannot ship these cars the conventional way, the salt and condensation will kill it.

Add all the extra bits and sorting out, then you have a car thats nearly impossible to register in OZ without serious money thrown at it , and even then it will be comprimised.

For 220k Aus RMC might be asking is good value if it looks and performs like a Kirkham should.

Default import

Soulman, if you want to know the exact nuts and bolts of importing cars contact Deborah at AUSTORIENT vehicle imports in Melbourne. They specialise in race cars and high end cars like Ferrairi and Lambo's. And cobras!

If you can't find any contact details pm me and I'll send them to you....

I just bought a car in via a guy on the Gold Coast. It has lots of exposed stainless and billet alloy, and there was no sign of any issue with salt/condensation damage from the trip over here. Cost $3800

I was in Perth last year and visited the RMC workshop. RMC will import them for you(ADR compliant). I was told the cost of the kits were as per the Kirkham website plus frieght and whatever the Australian government charges are. So you would think that it would cost somewhere upwards toward $200K completed.
