Hi All,
I have been through all the regs online re importing so aware of the costs and pitfalls and how tight it can be. However I wanted to check in and ask a quick question please to make sure of the regs as I know how often they can change.

If the vehicles I have a all built before 1989 then can I bring in as many as I want?
Does the 1 car every 5 years only apply to anything newer than 1989?

Moving likely net year to Brisbane and cars are as follows and I would like to bring them all with me:
- 1963 Jag E Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe
- 1973 BMW 3.0 CS
- 1984 Range Rover Series 1

I also have a 2014 Norton Dominator SS but I will bring that in as my own personal newer shipment as it is newer than 1989.
Thanks

Good Morning,

Thank you for your email.

The Personal Import option is the option you can only be granted import approval for 1 vehicle every 5 years.

The Vehicles manufactured before 1989 import option and Motor Vehicle 25 Years or older import option does not have a limit on how many vehicles you can be granted approval for. No limit under these two options.

I hope this assists
