Yep they are kosher in NSW but if you live in QLD it becomes an import.......So back to the same problem.....
This whole conversation just makes me laugh in relation to certain cars -308GTS for instance...can anyone lay their hands on the numbers that are available in Australia / changed hands in Australia in the last decade? The answer is tiny numbers, I'm sure. I grabbed the only GTS I could find in Australia 16 years ago and watched very closely the market for some time after - from memory, there wasn't another one for sale for at least 3 years... Anyone even got the numbers for how may were originally brought into Australia in period? I can't imagine it would have been more than 30 (1% of the production approx). Good luck with waiting for an Aus-delivered one coming up for sale.
Not made in Dubbo - but mine came from Dubbo! True story... (it was part of the reason I took a mad punt on the car; in those days, Dubbo was home of the Fiat of Italy Cup national rally, so I felt it was a sign! )

calculation, see below) 0 Other markets The check digit of the VIN appears in the 9th position of US versions (plus some other markets, see above) and provides a way to verify the validity of all of the other characters in positions 1-8 and 10-17. The check digit is calculated by carrying out the following mathematical computation. (1) Assign to each number in the VIN its actual mathematical value and assign to each letter the value specified in following Table: A = 1 G = 7 N = 5 V = 5 B = 2 H = 8 P = 7 W = 6 C = 3 J = 1 R = 9 X = 7 D = 4 K = 2 S = 2 Y = 8 E = 5 L = 3 T = 3 Z = 9 F = 6 M = 4 U = 4 (2) Multiply the assigned value for each VIN character in the VIN by the Position weight factor specified in the following Table: VIN position Weight factor VIN position Weight factor 1st 8 10th 9 2nd 7 11th 8 3rd 6 12th 7 4th 5 13th 6 5th 4 14th 5 6th 3 15th 4 7th 2 16th 3 8th 10 17th 2 9th to be calculated (3) Add the resulting products and divide this total by 11. (4) The numerical remainder is the check digit. If the remainder is 10 the letter 'X' shall be used to designate the check digit. The correct numeric remainder, zero through nine (0-9) or the letter 'X' shall appear in the VIN position nine. 10th DIGIT Model Year The "Model Year" is only used on North America, Middle East and Latin and Central America versions: A 1980, 2010 B 1981, 2011 C 1982, 2012 D 1983, ...

Until s/n 75000 only odd serialnumbers were used. After 75000 both odd and even numbers were used. The VIN was also used on a small number of (late production) Dino 308 GT4s. Those VINs start with ZDFBB01 and end with even numbers near 15xxx.
Really, for Carbed 308GTS? Last time I looked at the register (some time ago- not latest edition) there were only 13 individual cars (the list looks longer because the same cars have circulated through different owners). That's a huge jump, and one would have to conclude the additions in recent years have all bee imports, not Aus delivered.
