Admin's ST205 GT4

Looks fantastic. That's one huge wing...

I got it from Gilgandra and it was advertised on eBay!

Any update on the 205? More low perhaps?

Greetings admin,
 
My name is Daniel Woodcock, previously I was registered under the name Woodmember with the email .com, but your google authentication is broken and I have since lost access to that account. As a result I unfortunately have been back to the site in some time. Ive still got my AW11 MR2 and will update the forum on it restoration progress in due course.
 
However i'm now back on a different mission, and that mission is to find out how you were able to import a JDM GT-Four. A friend an myself both desperately want one of these cars. However the importers we have asked have stated its impossible to get one of these cars. However it would seem you have been able to bring one in, this leads me to the question.... how?
 
Did you get a letter of compliance from Toyota? Did you go through a RAW? We really want to know how you got this into the country and on the road. Any and all advice you give would be greatly appreciated.
 
Cheers,
 
Daniel

That's correct. It is a personal import and has a special compliance plate that says so. I believe that you can only import a car as a grey import if that model was never sold locally, though there may be a time limit on this. I.e. Once the car reaches a certain age, you maybe able to import one. Check with the RMS to be sure.
Another option is for you to live in another country for a while and buy one then bring it back with you. I believe that the minimum time period is 12 months though once again you should check with the RMS to be sure.
