Imported Vehicles
If you have imported a vehicle that is more than 25 years old and built after 1969 you are required to have it assessed by an engineer to ensure that it meets the ADR's for the date of manufacture. Packard Automotive regularly performs these inspections and can help you navigate the maze of regulations that you may come up against.
