knowing about FTOs itself is not as important as learning more about how the auction & importing process works... The auction inspection report sheet is usually emailed to them (and then printed off), and you can check the VIN/chassis number on the report against the car to see if there are any inconsistencies. A sharp eye usually helps!
Go to http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au and there is a link that explainsthe import process in great detail. The guy is very friendly to deal with so give him a call if you can't find anything useful on the website.
As I am from Melb, i don't know what Syd dealers are like but it pays to hook up with ppl in your area who owns FTOs as well.
Best of luck mun...
