Re: Imports
There was a grey import program for a while. The program followed a rolling 15 years, so in theory, by 2006 the first of the SVX's would have been available under this program, but it was axed. That's how a lot of the cars you mention were brought in. The overarching approach to the import program was for cars not available in Australia...hence they are twin turbo variants of the cars we got. The SVX doesn't differ enough from the local option to justify it.
Unless you own the vehicle legitimately overseas for 12 months or more, you will not be able to import it.
There's at least one import that I know of (owned by E of this group with 4WS) and I came across another one a while back (had no sunroof etc.)
If you come across one that is an import (180km/h speedo is a dead giveaway), then unless it has a specific personal import plate (which is dead obvious) then stay away...it's most likely a dodgy.
