Sounds like you have a Kafkaesque nightmare going on there. What happens when you import a car which has paperwork declaring it to be "historic"? would the registration authorities rubber stamp your application or would you have to go through the same rigamarole you're going through with the NZ authorities? I'm thinking you could 'sell' the car to somewhere that has a more accommodating registration system and then import it back.
Something like this used to happen in the UK with kit cars that had inconvenient registrations; they got 'sold' to a Northern Ireland address, registered there. Subsequently exported to the mainland. Getting a shiny new registration when they arrived.
