Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The Toyota Crown GRS202 is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Performance Criterion. Each example carries a V6 petrol naturally aspirated engine, a automatic gearbox, and 2wd. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Toyota Crown GRS202 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000723 and SEV-000725, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 6 Model Report Entries (MREs) including MRE-000018, MRE-000690, MRE-000551, plus 3 more on the Rover register from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including ADR MODEL REPORTS PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Feb 2008 to July 2013.
Why qualified — Performance Criterion. Approvals granted under the SEVS Performance Criterion apply to vehicles that demonstrate a substantially superior performance specification — for example, power-to-weight, acceleration, or another measurable performance metric — compared with vehicles supplied to the Australian market in volume. Eligibility is build-specific: the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval are the binding reference.
How Carbarn runs this import. Carbarn sources 2/2008 to 7/2013 Toyota Crown examples through our Japanese partners, with build-sheet and auction-grade verification before any bid is placed. Once won, the vehicle is shipped via roll-on/roll-off freight, cleared through Australian customs, treated under biosecurity rules, and prepared for compliance at our Sydney workshop. The Approved Vehicle Verifier inspection and RAV entry are completed in-house, and you receive the vehicle with paperwork ready for state-level registration.
