I'm still on my learning curve with this stuff and have no idea what your compliance for WA is like but from my own experience undertaking the modifications on my own KIRKHAM for rego in QLD the changes are not that hard or that expensive. (not expensive in the overall context of what the car costs).

Some will tell you its difficult and and lots of work but it isnt full stop.

The biggest compliance issue is the engine and meeting emissions the easiest way around that is to put the engine on LPG (not sure if this is the same for WA)

$285,000 is a big ask because the car was titled 65 and then might get knocked back. You didn't mention if it had been titled 65 and full registered then reverted back to club rego I'm sure that would make some sort of difference. If memory serves me correct there was a white Kirkham that was full registered and advertised for sale about 5 years ago it may be the same one.

The other thing is the later model cars are built a lot nicer then they used to be (obviously with the advancement of Kirkham)

Any idea what build number the 2012.

Another consideration would be to just buy a new one direct from Kirkham because they now make them with the wiring harnesses and a lot of the other modifications already made to suit Australian compliance. Your call on this because a new one will cost about the same as the 2012 car by the time you land it here etc.
