Default Buying a personal import vehicle

Hi All, I am looking at purchasing an S Type 2000 imported by the original owner from the UK when he immigrated to Australia. It is currently registered in NSW & has a current roadworthy certificate.
Is there any special paperwork I need the seller to provide me when I purchase the vehicle like original import paperwork etc. thanks

I don't believe so, but check with Qld Transport.
As long as the vehicle has its personal import sticker attached there should be no problem.
From what I understand, there is no restriction on selling a vehicle that has been imported under that scheme.

Only issue might be that what passed compliance in NSW may not be compliant in QLD as I believe QLD is a bit stricter usually.
The only mod I needed to do on import was to install ADR compliant child restraint anchorages (even though I never intend to use them). Maybe check the vehicle has them already.

Thanks Champir, as an aside I got insurance through Shannon's as most companies won't insure a personal or grey import. I haven't had a chance to go to the DMR but will let you know how I go

I checked with Qld Transport & all I need to do is get a roadworthy in Qld and bring it to the Motor Registry Centre so the Vin & Engine number can be checked and they will transfer the rego across I hope thats what happens when it comes time.........
