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.

Testimonial

Caldina

Geoff,

My Caldina has arrived in great condition with no transport damage so good job by all involved. I spent most of yesterday afternoon looking over and playing with everything in the car. It’s a great car and has lots of high end after market goodies. Thanks for the assistance in buying this car it has been a good experience so far and should be for the rest of the time I own it. I will send thru some updated pics when I’ve given it a bath.

I just wanted to touch base again and let you know the Caldina I bought is terrific and that the compliance went very well and the guys there were very helpful. The car is very smooth and quiet with plenty of grunt for a 2.0L all wheel drive. I average between 500km to 550km on the highway and approximately 400km to 450km around town (that could have a lot to do with my driving style).

Thanks for all your help and knowledge with importing my car I am very happy with how smoothly everything went and am already considering importing my next car when the time comes.

Cheers

Shane
