Uncle Posted 8August, 2013 Report Share Posted 8August, 2013 Sorry to keep drifting OT, but here is the nasty LHD pedal setup I was referring to: Dranesville-20130806-00359.jpg Top of the peddal looks bent to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matara Posted 8August, 2013 Report Share Posted 8August, 2013 Can I ask how you insured the Kombi for the trip down the coast? It was almost impossible to find an insurer, but Progressive Insurance (same mob as here) accepted my foreign license and provided cover for 6 months for $388. I called up after out holiday and they refunded me $293 which included a $50 cancellation fee. You can do it all online, but you will need a US address to use. I used my friend in Valley Springs, CA and did disclose to them I was in a camper and travelling. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByronBayChris Posted 10August, 2013 Report Share Posted 10August, 2013 So, if I dig deep in the couch looking for spare change, it would be feasible to import a 1988 porsche 959 into Australia and drive it without having to make any modifications? Does the same apply to ANY car manufactured and registered in their home country prior to 1989? I thought some limitations would apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 10August, 2013 Report Share Posted 10August, 2013 959 would be LHD would it not? Needs to be 30+ years old to get away with no RHD conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LhD and registration vary by state. You would likely ave to do some modifications, even if only child anchors and RHd headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
