From handling all relevant documentation, to understanding the passion for classic cars, we guide you through every step. Our comprehensive knowledge helps you avoid common pitfalls that can delay your import or lead to costly modifications.
We make it as easy as 1, 2, 3 and 4!
Imported and complied for Victorian streets
The 25-year import pathway exists because these vehicles matter to the people bringing them in; nobody imports a 1998 Skyline or a well-kept Jaguar on a whim.
We treat the process with that in mind. Our assessment covers structural condition, safety equipment, and design rule compliance specific to older imports, and we flag early if something's likely to need attention rather than letting you find out at the eleventh hour.
We work with imports from Japan, the UK, the US and beyond, and we've seen enough of them to know where the common sticking points actually are.

25 Year old Import FAQs
-
A VASS certificate is a document issued by a Vehicle Assessment Signatory Scheme (VASS) engineer in Australia. This certificate confirms that a vehicle modification or custom build complies with the relevant design and safety standards. It is typically required when a vehicle has been significantly modified or built from scratch, such as for hot rods, custom cars, or imported vehicles, to ensure it meets Australian safety and design regulations.
The VASS certificate is important for getting a vehicle registered, as it verifies that all changes made to the vehicle are safe and legal.
