Importing 997.2 RS to NZ
Has anyone imported a LHD car to NZ?
Im looking to import a 2011 RS. The NZ transportation site isn't too clear. I figured I would ask here before making phone calls.
Thanks in advance!

Hey madmurdock. There is reading available here: http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/fa...l#requirements
The headline being that importing an RS should not be a problem at all. Are you moving to NZ? Be worth posting in the ongoing thread in this sub forum and introducing yourself.
Requirements that the vehicle must meet
To issue a vehicle with a Category A LHD vehicle permit, the Transport Agency must either deem it to have historic value, or it must be a vehicle that was not manufactured in right-hand drive form that meets three of the following four requirements:
+the vehicle (or its make, model and submodel) is identified as being a collector's item in a commercially produced motoring publication
+the vehicle's make, model and submodel has been (or was) manufactured in annual volumes of 20,000 units or less
+the vehicle is, and was manufactured as, a two-door coupe or a convertible
+the vehicle is, and was manufactured as, a high-performance vehicle.
The Transport Agency may issue up to 500 Category A LHD vehicle permits per year.

Good to know, thanks! Hasn't been a year yet, but that is good to know. Can always store it here and ship her down when the time is up.
