RE: This maybe a stoopid inquiry but...

When I looked into this the rule was that the car had to be "rolling" i.e. didn't matter what was in it as long as it had wheels. A mate of mine is the presi or something of the Hawker Didley car club in Aus, their pommy mates strip everything out of the car and shove it in a crate and then import the car as a rolling shell.   In the old days it certainly was cheaper to gas axe the thing in half and weld it back together but I think the customs boys have got wise to this practice.   terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of andrew smith Sent: Monday, 11 June 2001 10:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: This maybe a stoopid inquiry but...
