Asbestos in Classic Cars, owners risk thousands $$$$ in fines

DEADLY asbestos is being detected in an increasing number of privately imported classic cars — and unwary buyers are risking thousands of dollars in fines and repairs.

Australian Border Force has intercepted more than 50 classic and vintage cars containing asbestos parts so far this year, almost twice as many as the same period last year.

Valuable collector cars such as Ford Mustangs, Rolls-Royces, Bentleys and Jaguars — most of which are more than 40 years old — have been caught in the Customs crack down.
