I was sorry to hear about your TR being stolen.
The import regulations into New Zealand and Australia are very onerous and
unless we can prove that the purchased is legitimate we can never put it on
the road here and it might even be stopped by customs from coming in if was
obviously a complete car without good papers. I always thought that if a TR
was stolen in Australia or New Zealand that they are not valuable enough (say
like US$50,000) to bother sending overseas. It could well be disposed of. I
hope you get it is not and you get it back.
It would greatly upset me to lose the car I've had for 22 years.
PS I am sure that a TR4 or similar was stolen from Victoria Australia a year
or two back so it does happen occasionally.
