Import car from NZ

This will most likely not happen ... but what's involved and what would approximate costs be? It's pre-1989 (well and truly) so I guess it's likely a permit could be achieved thru Dept of Infrastructure's 'Rover' (I think it is called that). Car is in south island. I imagine it would need a certificate to say that any/all asbestos has been removed, maybe a cert. to say the car is has been 'cleaned'. My passport needs renewal so I won't be going over there any time soon to look at it (which would, anyway, perhaps make the cost too high/prohibitive). That means I would be relying on the seller for an accurate description unless I could find someone from (perhaps) a club to inspect it. Transport to a port/shipping/customs clearance etc here/getting it picked up from the port and delivered. I haven't tried to contact the seller at this point because of all of the above, so I shouldn't really be asking for any of you to provide advice, but I am asking anyway. Thanks in advance ...
