Corvette:
OK, here's the deal, I'm gonna be in NSW by year's end, and I am thinking of bringing in a pre 1989 Corvette (utilizing the 15+ year import law). I've read that its not required to be converted. What else does it have to go through, are there any restrictions on registration, anything to watch out for etc? Whats the aprrox cost of compliancing and registration?

Thanks

I thought it was 30+ yrs to be left unconverted.  I think the 15 yr rule relates to RAWS conversions?  Over 15 yr it can be coverted by a non RAWS complianced person but still needs appropriate paperwork to be done.

Thunder Kiss:
Yes, to register a car LHD, it must be 30+ years old in most states, but the old 15 year rule no longer applies.  They got rid of it a while ago.  
Now, the car must be built prior to 1/1/1989 to be exempt from RAWS, meaning it still must be converted to RHD, but only an engineers certificate is required on completion.

Corvette:
O crap

Corvette:
Dang, so here's the other question.

OK, so a 30 + yr old car doesnt have to go through conversion, what else does it need to go through, espcially regarding NSW, and what are the costs, or restrictions etc?

Thanks
