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

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?
