Converting a left-hand-drive import to right-hand drive in Australia isn’t pocket change—think roughly $15k–$30k for older, simpler cars, $30k–$60k for modern utes/muscle cars, and $80k+ for complex exotics and luxury cruisers.
That usually excludes engineering sign-off, ADR compliance bits, and rego inspections—budget another $2k–$5k, plus parts and wait times measured in months.
Some states let you drive certain LHD vehicles on conditional or historic rego if they meet age rules, neatly sidestepping conversion.
Use a converter with proven ADR engineering, warranty, and parts support; a cheap hack job will steer like a shopping trolley with a grudge.
