Wow! That's quite cool! If you want to drive a car in NZ, you need to have it registered with a New Zealand number plate, which can take quite a while to get sorted depending on the car.
Also, it seems like the U.S. is very strict with what you can or can't import to the country! New Zealand is so relaxed with that. That's why a lot of millionaires import rare cars from overseas, which is rather expensive. The NZ government doesn't care about how expensive the car is, just as long as they get their import tax.
I dislike the fact that there are so many cars that you can't import to the U.S.! It seems stupid.
My dad was in the Navy for 25 years so we moved a lot. About 12-13 years ago when my family was living in the Northern Virginia/DC Metro area, I was riding with my dad in the Dulles area when I saw a silver Mercedes van with right-hand drive on the highway. I believe the van was a V220, obviously not a US model, but it had Virginia license plates. How the heck it passed United States emissions standards I have no idea, but it did have Virginia plates.
I read somewhere that non-permanent foreign residents of the UK can bring vehicles with them from their home country and drive them around with foreign plates. A driver's license from any U.S. state is valid in the UK for up to a year as well.
