The Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS) is currently one of the four options to import a vehicle to Australia.

The SEVS model list covers vehicles built from 1989 onward and is the most commonly used vehicle import method for Australia for normal road use.

Below is a list of the most popular SEVS imports to Australia in recent years.

It is worth noting that many of the older Japanese turbo cars are still very popular worldwide but are becoming increasingly difficult to find in nice condition with genuine low kms.  As these models have been moving to classic status, prices have been rising.

The very nature of performance vehicles increases the chance of harsh treatment and accident repair.  So it takes time, patience and a good budget to select the absolute best examples if you’re looking for something special.

We love sourcing unique and collector vehicles as well as everyday cars in the best possible condition, so let us know what you’re looking for and we can advise you further on likely timeframe and budget.

G’day Geoff

Here are some photos of my Toyota MR-2 GT that you obtained for me from Japan a few years ago and delivered to Tasmania. You may remember.

I bought the car with intention of racing it in Tarmac Rallies. So far we have run it in Targa Tasmania three times. This year we were 20th in the Classic Cars section out of a field of 100 competitors. Our car is stock except for the 17″ wheels which puts us in the highest modified class. Most of the vehicles we compete against are highly developed racing machines.

I am frequently asked where I got the car from and how to go about doing so. There is an opportunity to promote Prestige Motorsport on the vehicle if you are interested.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Regards

Lawrie
