Be interesting if you could ... grey imports happening again though? Not sure it'd be right ... at least without some serious paperwork/effort.
From what I've heard someone over this side imported one but can not get it registered. I would assume you would have to jump through hoops and legal red tape to get compliancy, then there's the import tax on top which won't be cheap........... Unless there's a company out there that's gonna bring them in
Maybe I'll have to move to Nz for a while so I can have some fun in one. I spoke with Garric Imports a guy by the name of Garry told me it my be possible and he will look into it for me
If you own and use it overseas for more than 12 months it is possible. To buy and import one would be massively expensive as unlike Terrano's, Skyline's etc. GU Shorty's are not on the approved list.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
If only...

Awesome car!!!!
So has there been a swb available from the first GU? I've haven't even seen any pics (not that I been looking!). A TD4.2 turbo shorty would be pretty killer!

Bulbous, do you know much about the models on sale at the moment? My understanding is that the SWB 4.8L only just went on sale this January... I'm trying to get down to Jeddah to obtain pricing, options etc but if you know anything it would be helpful
