What should I do?

Hey guys,

Will try keep it brief, I am not able to take my csl with me to aus when we move at roughly end of the year since the Australian department of transport are enforcing a restriction on caged cars, so this leaves me not able to road register it in aus

What should I do, what's a fully caged near stock csl worth? Do they sell?

*cry*

Leave the cage behind.

No but a local scrap dealer may help.

Take out the cage the CSL down under will be worth almost 3 times what it is worth here

They only have 20 CSLs down under

Sell it in the UK your cage / seats / harnesses look beautiful its a stunning interior.

Part it out and FedEx it bit by bit to a trusted source in Aus.

Then get your spanners out when you land.

Could you not import it over there as a "competition" car?

Few months down the line look into getting it registered for the road.

I have some mates over there who are taking their cars in through a different part of Aus to where they actually are as it is eaiser. These are heavilly modified cars btw with one of them being a Grp-4 MK2 Escort with a 700bhp Cosworth motor in it.

There must be a loop hole so you can get it over with you.

Always an option, but I saved this csl, be a shame to lose another, call me sentimental

New regulations setup as of 1st of nov 2012, full enforcement, 1 April 2013, so cars currently with mod plates will be fine, but since I'll be there at the end of the year, can't have more than half cage
