Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The Lexus LFA LFA10 is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Rarity Criterion. Each example carries a V10 engine, a manual gearbox, and rear-wheel drive. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Lexus LFA LFA10 is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-000539, all granted on the Rarity Criterion, supported by 2 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000470 and MRE-000469 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including EXPRESS VEHICLE COMPLIANCE PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Dec 2010 to Mar 2011.
Why qualified — Rarity Criterion. Approvals under the SEVS Rarity Criterion apply to vehicles supplied to the Australian market in low volumes (typically fewer than 100 units in any single year). Eligibility is determined by the published approval — not by global or worldwide production figures. The exact build years and variants named on the approval are the binding reference.
