Hello all,

I've been reading up on the Australian rules for importing classic vechicles. I've come accross some old posts that let you off the hook for RHD conversions if your car is at least 15 years old and built before 1989.

I'd like to know if the rule rolls forward so that next year, cars build before 1990 will be allowed in without RHD conversion and in 2006 cars build in 1991 etc.

Hi,

From my understanding the laws changed this year - from the 15 year rule to build date before Jan 1989. So your mixing up the old law and the new law.

It used to be if the vehicle was 15 years or older. Now it is if the vehicle is built before Jan 1989 you may personally import it. Otherwise (so later than Jan 89) you must go through RAWS.

Now my question is......if you go through RAWS to bring in say a 1990 ...do you have to commit to converting it to RHD? or can you just bring it in.

The bastards and our crappy stupid laws. Makes me sick!
