New Zealand Diesels?

Indiana_Jones · 27th June 2013, 03:49

I've never seen a diesel 75 for sale here in NZ? did any ever get sold here? have any been imported?

.....and if you have one, will you sell it? lol

The build records show at least 15 diesel 75s were exported to NZ, there could be more as the Cowley data I have is not complete. As for imports from other foreign countries such as Singapore, who can know

That is also something I often wondered about as well.
A diesel 75 is a model I would like to own myself.

So there was at least 15, something to go on, cheers Reebs

Agreed Rovering, a diesel one would be the best of both worlds!

UK members have no idea how lucky they are!

Been day dreaming a bit more about this idea aye.

I'm looking at diesel estates on ebay uk, and thinking it might be worth the cost of shipping it here if I were to keep it for a decent time.

Has anyone done this before? Kiwis or Aussies?

My aunt lives in NZ. I will ask her.

Please tell me your aunt has a diesel 75 for sale

Hmmm it seems I might not be able to import a diesel, unless the Rover 75 meets Euro IV emission standards

My partner and I have been pondering emigrating to New Zealand in the not so distant future.

I did look on the NZ Autotrader etc and couldn't find any Diesel versions of the 75 although there were about 6 petrol versions. I then looked into the possibility of shipping over my Diesel 75 but if I remember correctly, it couldn't be done due to the emission standards.

Yep seems that way, sadly.

Where you looking at moving to? Auckland? (most people seem to move there)

I might just give up on that idea and look towards a French wagon.

There are a handful around - wish I'd bought the NZ new 2002 wagon on sale on trademe a while back for 14k. I think immigrants vehicles may be exempt the emissions standard if owned for 12 months first.
