I find it highly unlikely they are built in Australia as they don't make anything there! Maybe they could be imported in bulk from point of manufacture?

EDIT: for a 20 foot, fully insured container from Aus to UK (port to port ONLY!) works out around the £3k mark and takes approx. 7 weeks! A guy on the Morris Minor forum shipped 2 early Minors back over to the UK.

why not drive it back yourself? many have done it, it is only 10,000 miles....though how much petrol would that be? Huh

@ 5.50 GBP a gallon, 1,800 GBP plus hotel bills, 500 miles a day, 20 days.... Roll Eyes

why not just move to Australia Grin

If it's got tits or wheels it's bound to give you trouble

Sounded like money well spent. Thumbs Up!

It will be awesome when the other half of the gearbox works. Wink

Not that it felt like it needed a gearbox at all, actually. Grin
