Hi all
I've just moved to Australia from England - and I bought my Gold S-Type Jag with me. It's still at the shipping yard getting valued, taxed, quarantined - and all that! Can't wait to bring her home.
By the way anyone thinking of importing a car from England - I HIGHLY recommend it!
My car is worth in Australia 2.5 times what I paid in London!! Yes I've paid a lot in shipping fees and taxes, but I still come up trumps. Best of all, although I had to get rid of 80% of my possessions in the move, I got to keep my beloved "Goldie" - and when people here find out I have a Jag - wow - instant respect! Jags are like the ULTIMATE in cars in Australia.

 

Welcome to the forum ILoveMyGoldJag,

I understand Australian vehicle import regulation can be a bit of a nightmare. Good to know the increased value more than compensates although I doubt you're thinking of selling!

Welcome to "downunder", AND the forum.

Winter salt will no longer cause you any issues. Just the heat and bushfires, depending on where you step down.

It is easier to bring with you, as you say, but near impossible to bring as a car only as in a "private import". The pollies have all but scuttled that idea last I looked into it.

ENJOY

In case you were thinking of a trip to Adelaide I'm afraid that's not Grant in his avatar!

 

Thanks everyone for your advice. It's good to meet other Jaguar enthusiasts. No-one else I now is fortunate enough to own a Jag!

 

Sorry, Angela. Naturally assumed being in 'Stralia you'd be a Bruce !
