Thanks for the responses :) It's a 2001 and while the value is not too high, I will be taking a big hit on it in NZ if I sell it there (the pain of fuel prices is everwhere and the kiwis do love their 5.0L Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons! ), and will lose money as soon as I buy one here so, on balance, as I know the history and mainenance of mine, I think it may just have the edge. Re the speedo, it has a kph needle counter, will the converter be enough, or do I need to get the acutal counter facia changed too? It is a big job? Thanks again everyone! :)

Hi there, Thanks for this. It will be a permanent import and I think I am ok on the VAT issue as I am returning from NZ on a permanent basis - you are spot on with the duty issue as long as I do not sell it for 12 months. Not sure if I need to get the speedo converted from kph to mph or not though, or if there are any other little surprises in store for me...... Thanks again Mark

Hi there, I am on the verge of bringing my GS300 to the UK from Auckland. I have had a quote of @ £1,500. Having owned the car for more than 6 months, and lived outside of the UK for 12, I know I am ok on no import duty, but would like to find out a bit more if possible..... Just a couple of quick questions: * Will I need to have the speedo replaced to display mph, not kph for the MOT? (any ideas on how much this may cost too?) * Are they any other modifications it will require to pass its MOT? * Any other advice on bringing it over would be really appreciated!! Thanks everyone. Cheers Mark
