I want a 550 Posted 8November, 2016 Report Share Posted 8November, 2016 Hello all,I am new to the site and I am hoping that you as the collective brains trust that is everything Porsche can help guide me through my research in to importing a 550 Spyder replica from the US.Obviously I would love an original but my budget precludes me from the $8 million mark so here I am.Has anyone tried or succeeded in importing a 550 recently and if so was it a difficult process?Any advice is appreciated.CheersBrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a 550 Posted 8November, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 8November, 2016 Thanks, just hard to know what a replica would be worth in Australia if you could manage to get one through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 8November, 2016 Report Share Posted 8November, 2016 Going by the regulations you cannot import a complete car assembled after 1989, a car still in kit form should be possible.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
