I couldn't part with mine after spending so long finding it in the first place. I can't bare to be parted with it so much I'm taking it with me to Oz when we emigrate next year. RSOC in Melbourne where we're going as well!
Keep yours, you know you'd only regret it.
How mads that mate, i have the same plan for mine....
have you ever looked into costs for shipping the car to Oz? I know what you mean about parting with the S1, especially when you put so much time, effort and money in.
I think theres allready one series 1 in Oz, plenty of mk1 and 2's that i saw around adelaide tho
. Don't think that the mk3 ever made it over there other than the single series 1 that some guy imported. The Aussies are too into their bigger ford falcons n holden commodores, be great to see a series 1 passing by.... might see you down at Albert Park some day....
Top bombin!!!
Aye, have looked into shipping etc and depending on who you decide to go with it costs about £850 to ship it, then there's roughly around £650 in import taxes to pay when it arrives.
Be warned!!! You have to apply for permission to export your car over there (about £50) in advance, because if you don't you will be fined nearly AU$12000. Also, you have to have owned the car for a minimum of a year.
Yes, aussies do like there big engined cars and mine will probably be looked upon as a "Sheila's" car as it got a tiny engine and is front wheel drive, but hey-ho!!
PM me if you want more info.
