Just how many SE6 cars are over here now?

Hi, Mark here from sunny Queensland. Well I know I have a 1978 SE6a car, and there is a GTC here in Redcliffe for sale also. Supposedly another SE6a is in the process of being imported by a Jag dealer here in Brisbane but that was 9 months ago and no news on that one. Sydney has a green one out of a private collection that was auctioned off 2 years ago but unheard of since and Western Australia has another GTE. Any other SE^ cars out there?

Were they ever sold new in Aussie or are they all private imports?

not sure why I missed this post first time round? I'll try and answer tomorrow but all of my information on NZ & Aus cars comes from Mark Frazer.

seeing as this is the Australia & New Zealand section and my information all came from Mark in NZ:

NZ: 1 x SE2, 4 x SE4, 25 x SE5, 77 x SE5a, 3 x SE6, 21 x SE6a, 2 x SE6b, 1 x GTC, 15 x 1600 SS1, 2 x 1400 SS1, 1 x 1400 Sabre.

AUS: 1 x SE2, 6 x SE4, 22 x SE5, 22 x SE5a, 3 x SE6a, 1 x GTC.

This includes several V8 conversions, a turbo Essex, a 3.8 V6 and a couple of Toyota/Nissan 5 speed boxes on the Essex.

Thats a lot more than I thought it would be Jim and they should not suffer as much from tin worm like as our cars do.

Not an SE6, but my SS1 ti1800 has been in Australia since 2008 , so can be added to the AUS list.

Welcome - Mark Frazer in NZ keeps an antipodean register. Does the SS1 registrar (reliant-reviver) have your details? AFAIK that's the only small sports in Oz?

The SS1 registrar does have my details , but Mark Frazer probably doesn't. AFAIK too its the only one here. She was exhibited in the classic car display at the 2012 Wings Over Illawarra air show ( woi.org.au ) on May 6th after a frantic dash to get her suitable for the occasion.

and from your username, presumably an ex junior service pom?

No, its the registration number of the car, which in turn was inspired by a loco on the Swanage railway ( close to where I used to live) , which in turn was named after the real thing . I couldn't think of a different username at the time. Good job I only have one (Reliant) car or I would have had more decisions to make! I thought it had a nice ring to it , but at $400/year for the personalised registration, I'm not sure how long I will keep it on. At least it is offset by the car being less than 1000kg, hence counts as a microcar here and has half price road tax!

Lucky devil. We have to pay full fat tax here because the engine is over the cc limit for cheap tax. Welcome to the Forum. I have family in NZ and OZ but non have scims.....yet!

Hi ,I live in OZ and I am looking for Scimitar GTE owners for info as I am thinking of importing one or buying one in OZ.I live in Wollongong .

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

There are a number of Scimitar owners in OZ, I suspect one or other of them will pop up shortly

. I suspect if you *can* find one for sale down there, it may be easier than importing one, but I may be wrong. Good luck anyway!
