    Depends on a whole lot of things.
     
    Which state in Australia?  Are you an Aussie returning home, or another nationality planing a long-term stay?  How long have you owned the car?  It isn't impossible, just difficult . . .

    It's not 'too' difficult.
     
    You need to have owned and used the car in the UK continuously for at least 12 months.
    You need to seek prior approval from the Australian Federal govt before booking shipping.
    Modified cars generally are not allowed - i.e. no mr2 v6 conversions.
     
    Like DTM asks, emigrating, returning citizen or otherwise? If you want to send it to a buyer here - it won't happen.
     
    You can do it under the 'personal import scheme' if it's your personal import only.

    If you can prove you're migrating to Aus & have owned it registered for 1yr then yes with prior approval.

    What's special about it? May not be viable if its high mileage & not in great condition considering they're available locally. I'd imagine shipping would be considerably more expensive than Japan & add compliance costs etc which would all work out to be more expensive than the cars UK value.

    You can export/import one as race car (never allowed to be registered) under a different scheme. That or you need to be a business for import/export of exotic cars. Even though we like to think they are mr2's aren't limited exotic cars.
     
    Compliance costs are pretty negligible for UK cars to here, but shipping is somewhere between $4000 to $6000.
