Lotus Elan (in a lock-up in UK unfortunately)
Looking to get it shipped this year but need to do a little more research regarding legalities.
Good luck with the Moke - have you ever been to Magnetic Island near Townsville - great place for a chilled out break, and about 100 moke's for hire.
I drove a friend's Moke back from Exeter to Plymouth about 6 years ago - I got overtaken by a morris minor, and got out absolutely knackered - it was like flying a Tiger Moth! - fun though.
The guy who ended up buying it on ebay picked it up and drove it home with no hood from Plymouth to Salisbury .......... two days before Xmas - unbelievable!

Used to have an old mini in the UK, then got a kit car. Moving to Sydney later this year so probably a bit far south, but Im not sure whether to buy a classic, another kit car, or a boat..... Probably none if Kerry has her way;)

Nah not a Dutton....Robin Hood, I never quite finished it, sold it just before Xmas. I'm still in touch with the guy that bought it, he should be getting it on the road for summer.

Would appreciate that.
I'm going back to England and Ireland for a few months in June and would like to get it happening then.
Do you know anybody that has imported from UK?
